The Hill Street Country Club presents Sound & Liberation with Joy Guidry and special guest DJ, at Oceanside Theatre Company at the Brooks Bassoonist and composer Joy Guidry performs her album AMEN, experimenting with various forms of southern Black American music, from jazz to gospel and ambient. In AMEN, there is a lot of experimentation with different forms of southern Black American music. I wanted to lean heavily on my Texas, Louisiana, and Creole roots in this project. There were many days spent with my ancestors during the writing of this album, and I’m eternally grateful for the music they sang to me during our time together.. Seeing everything I have in my life, all I can do is throw my hands in the air and ask for my God’s protection. I give up the want for control, throw my hands in the air, and yell Amen, Amen, Amen! I yell this to the heavens, the universe, and my family that has crossed to the ancestral land. -- Joy Guidry Related links: The Hill Street Country Club: website | Instagram
