Marie & Rosetta

A huge influence on Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, and Jimi Hendrix, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a legend in her time. Her fierce guitar, magnetic stage presence, and swinging style transformed traditional gospel music, earning her the honorary title: godmother of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Marie and Rosetta chronicles her first rehearsal with a young protégée, Marie Knight, as they prepare to embark on a tour that would establish them as one of the great duos in music history.

“Marie Knight and Rosetta Tharpe provided the foundation for Rock ‘n’ Roll. They also gifted the world with the foundation for this can’t-miss show.” - Chicago Sun-Times
