Charleston Jazz Festival | Nina Simone – Rebel With a Cause

The Charleston Jazz Festival honors the life, music and uncompromising spirit of Nina Simone – dubbed the ‘High Priestess of Soul’ – who reshaped jazz, soul, classical and protest music with a voice that could soothe, scorch and summon truth all at once.

Captivating vocalist Alva Anderson and a trio of Charleston musicians, including Abdiel Iriarte, Frank Duvall and David Patterson, will explore Simone’s unique blend of musical styles as well as her role as a civil rights activist who used music as a powerful vehicle for change.

Don't miss this show! Join us at the American Theater on April 16 in downtown Charleston at 8 p.m.
