Keep Shouting Sister: A Tribute to Sister Rosetta Tharpe

Sister Rosetta Tharpe was an icon. She lived in Richmond at the peak of her fame, and was a resident for nearly a decade. Now, we’re honoring her legacy in a new way!

Keep Shouting Sister: A Tribute to Sister Rosetta Tharpe will be a celebration of one of the greatest musicians to call Richmond home. 

At the historic Hippodrome, a selection of Richmond‘s brightest stars will perform Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s music. Throughout the night, you’ll hear some of Tharpe’s greatest hits and learn about her life, her fame, and her impact.

The proceeds of the event will go directly to finding ways to celebrate Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s connection to Richmond, as a musical legend in the history of gospel and rock & roll.

As part of the fundraising effort, we will be auctioning off an electric guitar featuring an original painting to honor Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
