First Friday: Yolanda Fisher & The Afroeaters! 🎶
December's event features performances by Yolanda Wisher & The Afroeaters, a powerful band fronted by the 2016 poet laureate of Philadelphia. The Afroeaters weave Wisher's enchanting poetry with sultry jazz, blues, and soul to create a distinct sound and groove. Their debut album, Doublehanded Suite, brings attention to Black writers whose work has been lost or misunderstood.
