In 26 years of touring without commercial airplay, Sweet Honey has still managed to be a huge popular success. And it's no wonder -- these ladies are used to success. Two have Ph.D.s, one is a MacArthur Grant winner, one is one of America's foremost sign language interpreters. Their strong and inspirational voices will rise together in everything from blues, gospel and jazz to rap and field holler at their first Eugene concert in four years and their only Northwest appearance this year. The performance will be sign language interpreted. See Saturday Calendar.
