In his book, Desmond provides a ground-level view of one of the most urgent issues facing America today. Its unforgettable scenes of hope and loss remind us of the centrality of home, without which nothing else is possible.

November 4 – Rachel B. – 7:30 p.m.

September 20, 2016 by Dogwood

rachel-b-bw-webHailing from Pittsburgh, PA, Rachel B is a driven, passionate and charismatic artist with a unique approach to her blend of Soul, Motown & Pop.
Her music is true soul empowerment pop, as she likes to call it: It is all about connecting with listeners through playful energy, hints of sass, uplifting melodies, and witty lyrics, not unlike influential performers such as Amy Winehouse, Ella Fitzgerld, and Minnie Riperton.
Find out more at www.rachelbmusic.com and let the music tell you the rest of this story.
“Her set was brimming with sass, playful energy and unquestionable talent. One moment she was giggling about ripping pantyhose and teasing her guitar player, next belting out originals “I’m the Boss” and “Vicious”. I’m all about lady-power so needless to say I was into the equally flirty and ferocious set.”  -Carnegie Mellon’s The Cut.
