America Unfinished Featured Artist
Event Location: Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral, 19 South 38th Street
Intrepid early music ensemble Ruckus and boundary-pushing singer Davóne Tines deliver the bite of America’s earliest revolutionary music, time-traveling through four centuries of reimagined songs, hymns and dance tunes. “The world’s only period instrument rock band,” (San Francisco Chronicle) Ruckus is known for its visceral approach, fusing a Baroque band’s questing, creative spirit with the grit, groove and jangle of American roots music. A Penn Live Arts debut with bass-baritone Tines, a "singer of immense power and fervor," (Los Angeles Times) this concert ponders the fragile American experiment, asking how we stand up against wrongdoing while still coming together as a country.
