The Lassen County Arts Council and Lassen Community College have partnered once again to celebrate Black History Month with a free event in Middleton Hall Thursday night.
Louis Price, past lead singer of both The Temptations and The Drifters, will reprise his performance from last year, helping celebrate Black History through the rich sounds of music.
Last year’s exceptional performance included songs like, Just My Imagination, My Girl, and Ain’t too Proud To Beg.
Check out this video of Price singing Stand by Me at the HELP Group annual Teddy Bear Ball to benefit children on the autism spectrum.
Opening for Price this year will be smooth jazz musician Kenney ‘Sax Man’ Polson. Polson’s influences include Najee, Grover Washington, Gerald Albright and Eric Marienthal. You might also hear a bit of Brazil in his music as he lived in Rio de Janeiro for five years.
Local high school students will also read poetry selections reflective of Black History Month.
The Black History Month celebration starts at 6:00p.m. on February 27th in Middleton Hall on the college’s Susanville campus.
