Sweet Honey rocks the Broad

Since 1973, the a cappella vocal group Sweet Honey in the Rock has been carrying its musical message of hope, justice and peace throughout the world. Taking its name from a passage in the 81^st Psalm, this five-member female ensemble, always accompanied by a sign-language interpreter, taps into African-American singing and storytelling music traditions. Through the years they’ve earned multiple Grammy awards for their recordings and deeply touched audiences with their compelling live performances.

This weekend, the group brings its special brand of inspirational holiday cheer to the Broad Stage in the Santa Monica College Performing Arts Center, located on the school’s Madison Campus at 1310 11th St. in Santa Monica. It takes place on Sunday, December 19, 2010, at 7:00 p.m.

And here’s another sweet holiday treat: kids 12 and under get in for half-price.
