Brother Ali

City Winery Pittsburgh Presents Brother Ali live on Thursday, November 12th, at 7:30 PM!
Brother Ali has spent twenty years proving that Hip Hop can be a pulpit. Across ten albums, he's paired sharp, socially conscious writing with a delivery that's earned him mentorship from Chuck D and Rakim and appearances on Fallon and Conan. Rolling Stone marked its 40th anniversary with a feature on him. Source Magazine put his lyrics in its Hip Hop Quotables. The government, less charitably, put him on a watch list for saying what he believes.
He's carried that same voice to Coachella and to the Nobel Peace Prize Forum, to Princeton and Stanford lecture halls and to the streets, where his commitment to marginalized communities has led to arrest more than once. In the quieter hours, he studies Islamic Spirituality, leads worship and teaching, and co-founded The Gemali Project for spiritual seekers finding their way into the faith. His new podcast, The Travelers, broadcasts from his home in Istanbul.
Pittsburgh gets this show for one night, and it belongs in a room built for it. Our seated, intimate concert venue puts you close to the stage, with our award winning in house wines and a chef driven menu served right to your table. It's dinner and a show done the City Winery way, where the music, the wine, and the food never feel like separate plans.
