Sweet Honey In The Rock is an all-woman, African-American a cappella ensemble that has captivated audiences around the world with their powerful, soulful voices and deeply moving performances. Formed in Washington, D.C., in 1973 by Bernice Johnson Reagon, who was part of the Civil Rights Movement, the group's music is steeped in the sacred music of the black church, the clarion calls of the civil rights movement, and songs of the struggle for justice everywhere. Their repertoire seamlessly blends gospel, blues, jazz, and R&B, with occasional accompaniment by hand percussion instruments. Sweet Honey In The Rock’s performances are not just concerts but are experiences that educate, inspire, and empower audiences.

Over the decades, Sweet Honey In The Rock has produced a rich discography that explores themes of social justice, equality, democracy, and the rights of individuals around the world to live in freedom and peace. Some of their most recent releases, such as "The Living Waters," "#LoveInEvolution," and "A Tribute - Live! Jazz at Lincoln Center," showcase their unwavering commitment to social activism through music. Their song "Silent Night" adds a poignant touch to traditional holiday music, while tracks like "IDK, But I'm LOL!" reflect their ability to connect with contemporary audiences. Each performance and album by Sweet Honey In The Rock is a reminder of the power of music to change hearts and minds, making them a vital voice in the ongoing dialogue for global human rights and social justice.
