Music Travels

The Party Continues

Sharon JonesEvery year, KadmusArts greets the New Year with a slideshow that unites great images from festivals around the world with music from the performers that bring these festivals to life. Over the past three years, Howard Fishman, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, and Blitz The Ambassador have graciously allowed us to set our slideshow to their tunes. We thought that you might not be quite ready to wrap up your New Year’s festivities just yet; if so, here’s some music by all three to keep you going — enjoy:

Howard Fishman:
Night After Night
Hey Little Girl
Crash on the Levee
Can’t Get Along

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings:
How Do I Let a Good Man Down?
100 Days, 100 Nights
