Blurring the line between concert, dance, and music performance, Music From The Sole is a tap dance and live music company that celebrates tap’s roots in the African diaspora. Co-founders composer and bassist Gregory Richardson and Brazilian tap dancer and choreographer Leonardo Sandoval, draw from Afro-Brazilian, jazz, soul, house, rock, and Afro-Cuban styles.
The performance marks the culmination of Music From the Sole’s multi-year Guild Hall William P. Rayner Artist-in-Residence and premiere of their new work, House Is Open, Going Dark.
