Root Music, Volume One of The Urgent Emergent Performance Art Series, is the kickoff of TruArtSpeaks' 20th year anniversary.

With performances by Blu Bone, Voice of Culture, The Give Get Sistet, PaviElle French, and Nomvula backed by the 20th Band (Ryan Bynum, Kenyari Jackson, and Chris on Bass) with sounds by DJ Kenna, this night is going to take you into a speculative future, by way of a rooted past, and present swelling with rhythm and power. Doors Open at 6:00p; Show begins at 8:00p. Tickets are $15 in Advance and $25 at the Door. Root Music is produced in partnership with Art Inqola.The Urgent Emergent Performance Art Series powered by TruArtSpeaks (Urgent Art Series) is a year-long residency at Ice House in Minneapolis, MN.
