| Other Info | Allrich will ignite the room with the album opener “Fire.” This Afro Beat, funk and fusion piece demonstrates her deep spiritual and musical connection to the African Diaspora. Tunes like “Hard to Get” and “Sweet Dreams Man” will cool things down as their jazzy Bossa Nova groove takes hold and Allrich entices with her smooth, sweet and soulful vocals. Some jazz classics will also be on the program, and perhaps some works associated with iconic figures Nina Simone and Miriam Makeba. Allrich is well known for her stirring tributes to such revolutionary vocalists. Meanwhile Allrich has been considering a distribution offer from a major label and handling numerous requests for performances in the United States and abroad. The Twins audience will be treated to this stellar concert at a modest ticket price of $15.00 for shows at 9:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. |
