About Me:: 651 ARTS is dedicating its entire annual season to the culture, artists and influence of the Mississippi Delta in The Mississippi Delta Heritage Project. While the history and impact of the Delta Blues tradition is undisputed, few are aware of the contemporary artistry that continues to thrive in the region. The Mississippi Delta Heritage Project provides a glimpse of this flourishing artistic culture to New York audiences. CASSANDRA WILSON, COREY HARRIS, T-MODEL FORD, JIMMY “DUCK” HOLMES, and LOBI TRAORÉ are among the many outstanding artists, either from or influenced by the Delta, who will be performing as part of this series.

A multi-evening series of music, theater and dance celebrating the Mississippi Delta, featuring:

Reggie Wilson and Andréya Ouamba
Ping Chong and Talvin Wilks
Sharde Thomas and the Rising Star Fife & Drum Band
Toshi Reagon and BIGLovely
Olu Dara and Dianne McIntyre
T-Model Ford
Terry “Harmonica” Bean
Jimmy “Duck” Holmes

Right in the heart of Brooklyn, New York.
