SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCK - Saturday, April 9th - Boulder Theater - Tickets still Available!
|
|---|
The name of the group was derived from a song, based on Psalm 81:16, which tells of a land so rich that when rocks were cracked open, honey flowed from them. Founder Bernice Johnson has said that this first song in which four women blended their voices was so powerful, that there was no question what the name of the group should be.
Over the years more than 20 individuals have lent their voices to Sweet Honey in the Rock. Beginning as a quartet, the group is now composed of six African-American women (including a professional American Sign Language interpreter who accompanies the group on concert tours.)
