Founded by producer Konda Mason, guitarist Vernon Reid (of Living Colour), and legendary journalist Greg Tate, the volunteer not-for-profit organization The Black Rock Coalition (BRC) has a lot to celebrate. Over the past 40 years, the BRC has asserted every musician-of-color's right to creative freedom, irrespective of musical style. Today, they continue to build a devoted community of genre-expansive artists and kindred spirits. Many musical giants—including Living Colour, Fishbone, Tamar-kali, Van Hunt, Sananda Maitreya, Stew and the Negro Problem, Imani Coppola, Fantastic Negrito, Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber, The 1865, Sophia Ramos, David Ryan Harris, Militia Vox, and The Family Stand—appear on the BRC's Rock 'n' Roll Reparations compilation series. For one night only, under the musical direction of guitar virtuoso Marcus Machado, the BRC will present an epic performance of the most powerful songs from Rock 'n' Roll Reparations to show what rocknroll+ can do in the hands of the artists whose people gave birth to it!

Executive Producer: Jared Michael Nickerson, The BRC’s First Director of Operations
