Sunday, February 18th @ 2:00 pm: Longtime friends Greg Greenway and Reggie Harris team up for this presentation. Deeper Than the Skin is a concert that explores their unique history as a White man from the capital of the Confederacy and a Black man whose maternal ancestor was a slave on a plantation just outside of Richmond. They have built a bridge between their lives through thirty years of friendship, shared goals and a passion to build community. It’s an electrifying musical presentation.
The Ridgefield Folk Concert Series is made possible through the generous support of the Friends of the Ridgefield Library.
