Anderson set to perform at two sold-out Inaugural events |
The victory of President Elect Barack Obama is cause for many celebrations, and the inauguration ceremonies commence in full force next week in Washington DC. Among the invited performers is Jamaica's own Dancehall Soulstress Cherine Anderson, appearing alongside Michael Franti and Spearhead. Monday, January 19, Cherine joins in celebrating the change in US Presidential leadership by performing at "The Green Ball". The event, hosted by former Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore is sold out and takes place at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Center. Anderson is in outstanding company at "The Green Ball", with fellow performers including John Legend, Maroon 5 and Melissa Etheridge among others. Cherine is very honored to take the stage again on Tuesday, January 20, while performing at "The Peace Ball". This special event will be held at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum, and is hosted by Harry Belafonte. Other distinguished performers at this event include Joan Baez and Angelique Kidjo. "The Peace Ball" is also a sold out event. Anderson says, "It feels wonderful to be a part of an event that is so historic. This will be one of the biggest celebrations, so I am working very hard to give a memorable performance to honor the occasion."
