Unfortunately\, it says much a bout the vagaries of the popular music industry that\, although LaVette has been recording for over four decades\, up to this point she has rema ined criminally unknown. There's a space in American music where countr y meets soul\, where elements of blues\, folk\, pop\, jazz\, gospel and R&B melt in seamless alchemy\, where genre boundaries are ultimately not very meaningful. For my money\, the best of that music is rooted somewh ere around two or three in the morning\, when all is quiet\, one's emoti onal guard is down and the musicians are able to drive the voodoo down\, getting at the essence of what it is to be human.\n\nTickets: $20.00-$3 0.00 / 301-600-2828 CATEGORIES:Headz Up Local Events Calendar DTSTAMP:20120120T151511Z X-TRUMBA-CUSTOMFIELD;NAME="Event Type";ID=21;TYPE=number:Concert UID:http://uid.trumba.com/event/98448345 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:BLACK GIRLS ANTHEM LOCATION:Cramton Auditorium-Howard University\, 2455 6th Street\, NW Was hington\, DC 20001 DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20120218T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20120218T200000 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-ALLDAYEVENT:FALSE URL:http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/1500476EFAE98CB0?artistid=1671343& majorcatid=10002&minorcatid=32 DESCRIPTION:A dynamic “choreopoem” that weaves together poetry\, music\, dance and drama to transcend the songs of the souls of Black Women as t hey embark in love\, life and destiny.\n\nTickets: $35.00 / (202) 397-SE AT (7328) CATEGORIES:Headz Up Local Events Calendar DTSTAMP:20120115T184042Z UID:http://uid.trumba.com/event/98353090 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:FELA LOCATION:Warner Theatre\, 1299 Pennsylvania Avenue\, NW Washington\, DC DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20120218T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20120218T220000 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-ALLDAYEVENT:FALSE URL:http://www.ticketmaster.com/Fela-tickets/artist/1523893 DESCRIPTION:FELA!\, the three-time Tony Award-winning Broadway musical ( Best Choreography\, Best Costume Design for a Musical and Best Sound Des ign of a Musical) is now on tour!
