Our very own special @melvingibbs performs with @harriettubmanmusic SUNDAY•JANUARY 26th at @thesultanroom in Bushwick at 7 PM.
ABOUT @harriettubmanmusic
The raucous liberatory collective Harriet Tubman, formed by guitarist-vocalist Brandon Ross, bassist Melvin Gibbs, and drummer JT Lewis in 1998, advances a brash, enveloping, danceable sound fusing “genres” of Black music—“the digging of everything,” in the words of Amiri Baraka. Naming themselves after the great Black abolitionist Harriet Tubman, the collective expresses their commitment to social and political liberation through breaking the “chains” of received aesthetic labels of Black musical forms, as Lewis has put it. Harriet Tubman will be joined for this performance by their friend and fellow traveler, the shape-shifting bandleader, composer and musician Graham Haynes.
