Oh Freedom

Freedom Singer Jan 19, CBC Studio 40 Vancouver Freedom Singer was an inspiring concert created by Khari Wendell McClelland, an African-Canadian singer and songwriter, and member of the lauded gospel group, The Sojourners. McLelland has unearthed a number of songs from the era of the Underground Railroad. A stellar band plus a six-member choir stood beside Khari to sing, bear witness, and engage with the stories of McClelland's own great-great-great grandmother's journey to refuge and safety in Canada. Performers: Khari Wendell McLelland, Marcus Mosley, Will Sanders, Karina Morin, Dawn Pemberton, Kristie McCracken, Juhli Conlinn, Noah Walker, Tyson Naylor, Rob Becker, John Raham.
