SUMMARY:SONGS OF TRUTH: The Awakening
DESCRIPTION:A Juneteenth Weekend celebration & concert of original blues\, gospel\, jazz and American roots songs from the Broadway-bound musical “Truth”.\n\n\nTRUTH is an original musical theater project inspired by the true life story and spiritual mission of SOJOURNER TRUTH\, a woman once-enslaved in New York’s Hudson Valley\, who grew up to take her own freedom\, free her son\, and become a pioneering champion of emancipation and women’s rights in America.The original songs convey the wide range of feelings\, struggles\, triumphs\, joys\, and revelations of Sojourner’s incredible journey. Sojourner herself is both the musical’s Storyteller and central figure in the Story within a Story\, as she takes us back in time along on her unique soul’s journey through an incredible\, sometimes harrowing\, oft times inspiring\, moving and impactful life.SONGS of TRUTH is a selection of heart and eye opening songs from the full musical. \n“SONGS OF TRUTH: The Awakening” is the second in a series of Richmond concert presentations\, following two sold out concerts in November 2025 at Reveler in Carytown. It will have additional visual elements and dance elements\, as well as a stage full of legendary and up-and-coming Richmond talent. \nRichmond’s own Desirée Roots will headline once again as Sojourner Truth\, with a cast including Sir Rome\, Carla Jackson\, Dale Heiskill\, Reyna Pannell\, Keni B Fine\, Milani Hopkins and Stacie Brown. \nThe Band will be led by Weldon Hill\, with Mike Hawkins\, James “Saxmo” Gates and other stellar Richmond musicians. \nSONGS of TRUTH will be directed by Tanya Birl-Torres\, a New York City-based\, Director choreographer and theater artist\, currently Artist in Residence at New York’s The Shed. \nSONGS of TRUTH is presented by Craig Martin\, Keni B Fine and Shockoe Records.
