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.
