Deeper Than the Skin

 “Deeper Than the Skin” is an experience of singing and listening… of experiencing and sharing a connection so deep that touches your being and engages your mind… it makes you laugh, smile, cry and reconsider what you know about our history. And it’s an invitation to open your heart and mind to a story of shared humanity that resonates with your own.

Reggie Harris and Greg Greenway… Two friends…one Black, one White… one from the North… one from the South. Musicians, storytellers, students of history and world travelers… born 3 days apart! 

Two separate narratives forged into one powerful friendship aimed at finding common ground and helping others to do the same …

“Reggie Harris is part of the solution. His marvelous music, his hard-earned wisdom, and his loving presence lift up any room he enters. Reggie reaches across all boundaries and makes strangers into friends. Give yourself and your community the gift of a transformative visit with Reggie Harris.”
