Sunday, February 20 on The Mulberry Tree

Hello,

I'm looking forward to celebrating in song Black History Month this Sunday, February 20 on The Mulberry Tree.  I know you'll enjoy the tapestry of music and the variety of musicians I chose for you, in the order that made most sense to me.  Below are the musicians and songwriters who will sit around the tree with us Sunday evening.  The list includes Mavis Staples, who is joined by some powerful musician friends to perform this week's sneak peek playlist video "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." Meet you around the tree!
