DESCRIPTION:Concerts in the Loft is a free live music series that brings t
 he community together through performances by local and regional artists. 
 These concerts create a welcoming space for connection\, creativity\, and 
 fellowship while supporting the arts in Morgantown.\n\nKnown as "West Virg
 inia's First Lady of Soul &amp\; Blues\," Lady D delivers a powerful perfo
 rmance rich in gospel roots\, blues tradition\, and inspiring originals.\n
 \nBessie’s Blues is a one-woman theatrical performance that is a direct 
 spin-off of the original Lady and the Empress stage play. “Bessie’s Bl
 ues” was conceived specifically with young people in mind but because of
  its minimal set and space requirement\, it is easily adapted to adult aud
 iences and non-traditional venues. It is a great piece of history and ente
 rtainment combined and guaranteed to leave an audience wanting more.\n\nTh
 is blend of education and entertainment will give the audience a glimpse i
 nto what America was like for people of color\, especially musicians and p
 erformers\, during the 20s and 30s. It highlights some of the colorful “
 slang” that was in use at that time and brings to life the bold\, beauti
 ful\, and bawdy Empress of the Blues\, Bessie Smith\, in a masterclass on 
 this country’s first purely American musical art form\, the Blues.\n
