GALVANIZE: Friday Night Live Returns This Week!

SEASON 10: WE ARE FAMILY

Anacostia Playhouse welcomes DC-area vocalists Alisha Glover and Christopher Prince to its Friday Night Live concert series. This series will feature songs ranging from jazz to gospel and rock.

Alisha Glover

Coined as "A Divine Muse" by some, Alisha boasts a strong and soaring multi-octave range that comparably emulates that of the late great Minnie Riperton. She's shared the stage with acts such as Rahsaan Patterson, CeCe Peniston, Howard Hewett, Regina Belle, Miki Howard, Rachelle Ferrell, Gerald Veasley, Keiko Matsui, Peter White, Jeff Majors, Alyson Williams, Ann Nesby, Glenn Jones and many others. Her vocal genres are jazz fusion, funk, gospel, rock, R&B, and pop.
