Moonlight Bejamin The Center for the Arts Friday, September 12 Powerhouse vocalist Moonlight Benjamin fuses Haitian traditions with 70s-inspired blues-rock, garage blues, and electric jazz rock. Haitian by way of France, she grew up in a Protestant orphanage, learning to sing in church before unleashing her mystifying, soul-stirring voice on world stages such as Jazzfest in New Orleans, and other festivals worldwide. If you like Khruangbin, Santigold, The Black Keys, Alabama Shakes, Tinariwen or Patti Smith - this show is for you! #GVNC #CulturalDistrict #MoonlightBenjamin #TheCenterForTheArts (fb)
