Event Details

UPDATE: New title, New Presentation

Sometimes things change and this time we like 'em! Africville Stories is the re-vamped title of Joe Sealy's Africville. It's renaming underlines its nature as a new presentation of Joe Sealy's. Africville Stories still tells of a great legacy as a narrative and musical journey, but this time it also features new poignant and uplifting stories, including a tribute composition titled “The Seaview African United Baptist Church”.

****************

Music to sweeten the heart of us and a voice that thrills the soul of us.

Musician, composer, multi-JUNO Award winning recording artist and radio broadcaster Joe Sealy is touring his musical tribute to Africville once more and this time he has a vocal force of nature standing tall next to him on stage--Jackie Richardson! Their performance will leave you with two words beating in your mind -- brilliant and powerful!

Though not born here, Joe Sealy has been greatly influenced personally and professionally by the community and the destruction of Africville. This performance is destined to leave no soul untouched, and it comes in a year of triumph when Africville officially reclaims its name.

Let us rebel against this lie
Lift up an intelligent sword
And assault the new world.
-George Elliott Clarke, “Whylah Falls”

Personnel: Joe Sealy (piano), Paul Novotny (bass), Chris Mitchell (sax), Dave Burton (drums) and special guest Jackie Richardson (vocals).

****************

Please note: George Elliott Clarke was originally billed with Joe Sealy, but due to scheduling issues he was unable.
