Kam Franklin performs new music this weekend at Performing Arts Houston New/Now
HOUSTON – Performing Arts Houston is presenting its third annual New/Now event this weekend at the Cullen Theater in Wortham Center, Downtown Houston. This two-day event features the works of three amazing artists: Group Acorde, ShaWanna Renee Rivon, and the legendary Kam Franklin.
And today on Houston Life, Mel Camp visited one of the featured artists, Kam Franklin , who is rehearsing for her upcoming performance. Kam Franklin and her crew are preparing for their world premiere performance of ‘Bayou City Comeback Chorus: Volume Two,’ a sequel to her social justice-inspired album.
