Vienna Carroll & The Folk

A Joyous, Genre-Bending Celebration of Black Folk Music at a legendary New York City music venue.

NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, August 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Harlem-based vocal powerhouse, Vienna Carroll brings her signature blend of blues, gospel, and funk-infused Black folk music back to the Bitter End on Saturday, September 6 at 7:00 PM, for an unforgettable night of rhythm, soul, and resistance.

Carroll's dynamic band, The Folk, features an all-star lineup of veteran musicians:
Keith Johnston (Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, Jon Hendricks) on guitar
Stanley Banks (George Benson) on bass
Washboard XT/Newman Taylor Baker (Matthew Shipp, McCoy Tyner, Henry Grimes) on washboard
• Special guest Ken Scharf (Ray Charles) on trumpet

Expect a genre-defying performance that breathes new life into traditional blues and gospel themes with a funky, modern twist. Known for her politically-charged storytelling and electrifying stage presence, Carroll’s performances are both deeply rooted in history and urgently relevant to the present day.
