Sweet Honey in the Rock

Star Tribune + Minnpost Pick!

MINNPOST: This is not the original group that formed in 1973; founder and lead singer Bernice Johnson Regon stepped down in the early oughts, and Ysaye Barnwell, who joined in 1979 and was a mighty presence for decades, left in 2013. But it’s still Sweet Honey, the legendary, revered and always relevant African-American a cappella quartet that sings truth to power and invites us all to rise up to be our best selves. Original members Carol Maillard and Louise Robinson have been joined by Nitanju Bolade Casel and Aisha Kahlil. Musician Romeir Mendez adds acoustic and electric bass. They sold out Orchestra Hall with Cantus in 2017, and it’s rare to see them perform in a smallish venue. 7 p.m. FMI and tickets ($50-70).

STAR TRIBUNE: The well-traveled a cappella group still has two original members from 1973 — Louise Robinson and Carol Lynn Maillard — to guide them through their uplifting catalog of spirituals, gospel and socially conscious music. (7 p.m. Thu. Dakota, $50-$70 )
