Winter in America is an homage that highlights Gil Scott-Heron’s and Brian Jackson’s inspirational music, poetry, and original spoken word. The show engages today’s audience with Scott-Heron’s and Jackson’s signature themes: the African-American experience and unity in the struggle for justice everywhere. Featuring some of the best artists in the Pacific Northwest, we aim to bring new life to this under-appreciated, yet vital music.

The band features: Ayesha Brooks - vocals, Osagyefo Sekou - vocals, Shakiah Danielson - poetry and rap vocals, Darrius Willrich keyboards and vocals, Ricardo Guity - percussion, Owuor Arunga - trumpet, Chris Patin - drum set, Darian Asplund - sax and flute, Dan Rapport - guitar and Camilo Estrada - bass and bandleader
