India.Arie Comes to The Triad

April 23, 2012 | David Ford

11 years ago the album Acoustic Soul hit the airwaves and quickly went multi-platinum. Since then the artist behind the album has become a Grammy award winner, and a four-time NAACP Image Award Honoree.

India.Arie has performed for presidents and Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies. She’s also stood with her peers in the top echelon of entertainment as an activist for global health and human dignity, and her music continues to speak powerfully to the interconnectedness of all of us.

She comes to the Triad courtesy of NC A&T State University. The concert is Wednesday night, April 25 at 7:30pm in Harrison Auditorium on the A&T campus in Greensboro. Opening for her will be a group of talented A&T student winners of the Living Your Art workshop competition. You can hear more about that competition on Wednesday’s Triad Arts Up Close, during David Ford's conversation with LYA Producing Artistic Director Hilda Willis.

India.Arie spoke with WFDD's David Ford by phone from her home in Atlanta.
