Homegrown Soul Episode 1 Premiere - Soul of Ferguson Revue

Filmed at Earthdance Farm in Ferguson, Missouri on June 20, 2020, “The Soul of Ferguson Revue” is a musical celebration of optimism and love amid a very trying time for the Ferguson and St Louis community (with the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing fight for racial justice weighing heavy). 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).
