The Revue features an introduction by Ferguson’s own Michael McDonald and an opening second line with recently elected Ferguson Mayor Ella Jones marching alongside the Red and Black Brass Band. The concert also includes special performances by Thomas Owens (Brian’s father), Malena Smith (LIFE Creative Group) and Joanna Serenko (NBC’s The Voice). Watch the full concert: https://youtu.be/I2pGKw2YhbI This project was made possible thanks to support from American Portfolios (https://americanportfolios.com/). Soul of Ferguson Revue is the first in a content series called Homegrown Soul. The arts community has been hit hard by COVID-19 and its resulting health and safety restrictions. Venues are closed, artists unable to perform and stage professionals, producers, and agents are unable to earn a living. The Homegrown Soul initiative - spearheaded by Brian Owens and Shelley Dotson (Hurley Creative Consulting) - was created with the aim to give artists a platform to perform, venues unique content to share with their patrons, and patrons the opportunity to support the artists and venues they love.
