Bass-baritone Davóne Tines isn’t just a powerhouse vocalist—he’s a force of nature. Hailed as “a singer of immense power and fervor,” and “[one] of the most powerful voices of our time” (Los Angeles Times), he brings more than just breathtaking sound to the stage. With boundless curiosity and razor-sharp intellect, Tines delves into the stories that connect us, exploring themes of perseverance, identity, and the connections that shape our lives.
Early music band Ruckus infuses every work with vitality and immediacy, giving their period-instrument performances the spontaneity and verve of a jazz improvisation or pub session.
Together, this ensemble and singular vocalist form the perfect pairing to reflect on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Giving new life to Colonial- and Revolutionary-era hymns, ballads, and Baroque compositions, Ruckus and Tines embark on a musical journey that weaves through the pre-Civil War period, the Civil Rights era, and into the present day.
