Arts at the Armory is proud to welcome We Black Folk for a special showcase as part of our Spotlight Series. Celebrating the depth, diversity, and brilliance of Black artistry in the folk and roots music world, this curated evening brings together distinct voices including Cliff Notez, Alisa Amador,Tim Hall,Gabriella Simpkins, Tyler Donkoh-Halm, Dzidzor, and one more soon-to-be announced artist, each offering a unique perspective melding acoustic roots with soul, poetry, and contemporary storytelling.

Rather than presenting folk as a fixed form, We Black Folk treats it as a practice–something shaped by memory, place, and the act of gathering. Across individual sets and shared moments, the artists explore how songs carry history, how stories travel, and how community is built through sound.

Set within Arts at the Armory’s resonant hall, the evening unfolds as an invitation—to listen closely, to feel the interplay between tradition and innovation, and to experience music as a space for belonging. Intimate, expressive, and alive, this We Black Folk Showcase offers an evening of discovery and dialogue through song.

Doors open at 6:00pm, the show begins at 6:30pm.

Tickets: $35 for General Admission seating

Tickets purchased for We Black Folk’s showcase are non-refundable. All sales are final.
