Songs of Black Folk, a new musical tradition, brings together the largest gathering of black musical talent on a single stage in the Pacific Northwest, marking a new era for black artists in the PNW, on the meaningful backdrop of Juneteenth. Led by Ramon Bryant Braxton and Rev. Dr. Leslie Braxton, this extraordinary performance group establishes a new tradition, inspiring audiences and the next generation of Black artists. Inspired by this mission, we created a film to capture and celebrate black talent in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Ensuring their stories live beyond a single performance.


As Artistic Director Ramón Bryant Braxton says, "I want these artists and audiences to be able to walk with their heads held high." With this film we celebrate and bring greater awareness to their extraordinary ambition, talent and musical power.
