Minneapolis-based, nationally touring artist Joe Davis and The Poetic Diaspora, an ensemble of Twin Cities powerhouse vocalists and multi-instrumentalists, unite for an energizing album celebration concert that explores Black Diasporic music and poetry. Influenced by icons like Gil Scott-Heron, Langston Hughes, Nina Simone, and Sun Ra, the eclectic collective delivers Diaspora: On the Rise—a genre-defying fusion of funky gospel, soulful harmonies, and raw poetic lyricism, grooving to the themes of Black joy, Black love, and Black liberation.Joe Davis and The Poetic Diaspora seamlessly blend melodic harmonies, smooth instrumentation, and raw, poetic energy to tell stories of struggle, resilience, and celebration—to remind everyone that tears are as holy and sacred as dances, music can carry us through any struggle, and we rise as high as we lift each other. Join them for this exhilarating ride through an invigorating soundscape.
Tickets to this performance are Pay What You Wish.
