Serita’s Black Rose to perform Thursday evening in Hart

HART — Serita’s Black Rose will perform Thursday, Aug. 17, from 7-9 p.m. at the Hart Commons.

Bring a lawn chair for seating during the free performance.
A self-professed “funkateer,” Serita Crowley of Serita’s Black Rose from Grand Rapids brings a raucous mix of funk, rock, blues, neo-soul and Americana.

Serita, along with her partner Jon Hayes, are at its core, performing together for nearly two decades. As an acoustic duo, or full band, they play much of the timeless “feel good music” from the 60s and 70s along with their own original music. Their self-titled EP release in 2012 won several awards including WYCE’s Jammie Award for “Best Short Form Album.” The acoustic duo has been a supporting act for the legendary Smokey Robinson of Motown and Kansas.
