Deeper Than the Skin featuring Reggie Harris and Greg Greenway

“Deeper Than The Skin is an absolutely amazing experience. Not just a performance (although these are two fine performers) but an experience. If you are anywhere within reach of this, don’t miss it.”         -Selma Civil Rights activist Rev. Gordon Gibson, author of ‘Southern Witness’, Knoxville, TN

The Harwich Cranberry Festival CONCERT SERIES is proud to present Reggie Harris and Greg Greenway in the Cape Cod premiere of their acclaimed performance, DEEPER THAN the SKIN, sharing their story of a 30-year friendship and a unique bond that transcends race and upbringing.

The presentation begins with a song… followed by another song…that moves into a poem and then… an invitation. This is not just another evening of talk. This is not a concert of songs that just entertain.

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

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.

Deeper Than the Skin brings together a remarkable journey that started 30 years ago and is now offering hope to people all over the nation. It’s a presentation that ends with an open dialogue that moves the audience from emotion into action…that gives voice and direction to the question “What can I do?”

“Deeper Than The Skin is an invitation to journey with two friends through their experiences with race and its’ impact on their lives. Don’t be worried you’ll be preached at – this is an event of sharing and reflection, music and deep thought. Greg and Reggie are two of the most engaging performers you’d want to enjoy on a concert evening. To be invited into their lives to share their deepest concerns and memories is a rare privilege … two hearts – asking us to gather and share our histories, our reflections on where we’ve been and where we want and need to go. This presentation is an affirmation of the notion that a more perfect union begins with us.” — Thea Hagepanos, Unitarian Universalist Cong. of Wilmington NC
