Peanut Butter & Jam: Marcella Simien
Saturday, October 25, at 10:30 AM in the Watkins Studio Theater at GPAC.
Tickets are Pay-What-You-Can!
Join us for a special concert featuring Marcella Simien designed to introduce young children to the vibrant sounds of soul, blues, and zydeco music. As the daughter of two-time Grammy Award winner Terrance Simien, Marcella brings a rich Louisiana heritage to her music, uniquely blending it with the soulful vibes of Memphis to create her own distinctive Swamp Soul sound. During the concert, Marcella will engage participants in traditional Creole French chants, such as “Tôt tôt le Mardi Gras” and “Iko Iko,” while also leading rhythm exercises that everyone can join. It promises to be an interactive and fun musical experience for the little ones.
Now in its 30th season, this program introduces children ages 8 and under to a variety of genres including music, dance, and multicultural arts in an informal concert setting. Parents and children are invited to move and groove in these highly interactive performances held on scheduled Saturdays in the Watkins Studio Theater or in the Highland Capital Performance Hall.
