Radiate
RADIATE is part concert, part revival - featuring the triumphant return of legendary expatriate performer Jomama Jones, a mythical R&B diva who left the United States after a string of hits in the 1980s, back from the darkness as a lone star with a singular purpose – to awaken the comeback in us all! Jo is accompanied by her collaborator and musical director, Bobby Halvorson, her backing vocalists, the Sweet Peaches - the extraordinary Helga Davis and Laura Jean Anderson, and a knockout band. She shares songs of resilience and regeneration as she recounts her rise to the stratosphere, her self-imposed exile from the U.S. and her surprising observations of the America to which she has returned.
