Description: For decades Bobby McFerrin has broken all the rules. The 10-time Grammy Award winner and music-industry rebel has blurred the distinction between pop music and fine art. McFerrin singlehandedly redefined the role of the human voice with his a cappella hit Don’t Worry, Be Happy, along with his many groundbreaking collaborations and solo vocal performances. Now McFerrin celebrates the transcendence of the human spirit with music from his latest album, spirityouall, a heartfelt re-imagining of an American tradition. Beloved songs like He’s Got the Whole World in his Hands, Every Time I Feel the Spirit and original tunes explore McFerrin’s everyday search for grace, wisdom and freedom. The songs embrace his folk, rock and blues influences without abandoning his fearless improvisational approach or his never-ending exploration of the human voice. McFerrin moves seamlessly between lyrics and wordless lines, inviting the audience to sing along, raising the roof with joyful grooves.
