Pamela Means presents Black, Brown and Beige, named after a Duke Ellington composition, is a family-friendly public event celebrating the artistry and cultural contributions of Black, Brown and Beige people. Demonstrating that throughout history, Black, Brown and Beige artists have used their voices, their lives, their art, to call out injustice, call in community, inspire compassion, assuage pain, instill joy, spread love, and prove possibilities of a brighter, better, and loving world. Means will also share her trajectory as an artist, making music for peace and unity, committed to authentic self-expression. Performing a mix of originals and cover songs, we will explore the origin stories and lineages of many recognizable "sing-along" tunes sung by Harriet Tubman, Leadbelly, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Tracy Chapman, Prince, etc.!
This program is supported by a grant from the Easthampton Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
