4th Annual DC Poetry Festival

The 4th Annual DC Poetry Festival at the Carter Barron Amphitheatre will celebrate the Howard Theatre. The show this year will be headlined by Ayanna Gregory, a gifted singer/song writer and daughter of world famous comedian Dick Gregory. She combines R&B, jazz, gospel, and the blues into a powerful message through her music. There will also be performances by Def Poets Tommy Bottoms and “Breeze.” The Johnny Artis Band will perform a musical tribute to those artists who graced the Howard Theatre stage. We will also offer music from Steven B & Friends. This show will be hosted by Joe Gorham from WHUR – FM. Mr. Gorham is the host of Joe’s place on WHUR_FM and WHUR World. This event is free to the public, however we ask for your donation. Your donation will help restore the Historic Howard Theatre.
