with Nick Woodhouse - Bass & Guitar, David Jones - Percussion
Audra
Scott weaves together Negro spirituals set to jazz, classical, and
gospel styles, creating a rich, accessible musical landscape for all ages. Each song is paired with story moments that
provide historical context, personal reflection, and hope-filled
perspective. Through heartfelt narration and music rooted in tradition yet reimagined for today, this performance honors the dreams of those who came before us—and celebrates the freedom to live beyond them.
