Sweet Honey in the Rock

The women who comprise Sweet Honey are more than entertainers. They are a quintet of artists dedicated to preserving and celebrating African American culture and singing traditions. They are poets and activists who cannot remain silent on the most pressing contemporary issues. And it is the activist's fervor and sense of urgency that fuels their sometimes tender and often explosive musical drive. Sweet Honey members continuously evolve as musicians, composers, arrangers, singers, and storytellers, retaining an unmistakable quality of sound, yet always sounding fresh.
