Anitra Jay

A Tour of Black Voices in History

Walk with Singer/Songwriter Anitra Jay through an entertaining showcase of black voices in American History. Anitra takes you back in time celebrating diversity in our nation's rich history with art forms such as the breath-taking poetry of Maya Angelou and Langston Hughes to the stories of Harriet Tubman as well as modern historical voices like Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald. Students will experience a memorable show that both informs and inspires while celebrating the beauty of diversity.

Anitra Jay is an acoustic soul singer-songwriter based in Eureka Springs, AR. Her whimsically soulful all-caution-to-the-wind interpretation of music, invites you to a space you’ll never want to leave. Born and raised in New Orleans, Anitra's vocals highlight her roots in Jazz, Soul, and Gospel.  With a musical style often compared to India.Arie and Tracy Chapman, Anitra Jay offers a sweet down-to-earth blend of soul and poetry with modern sensibilities.  Her personality and expert improvisational skills set her performances square between the raw edge of improv comedy and sultry-soaked soul.  She effortlessly combines soul-catching melodies with tales of real-life experiences wrought with motivational messages that leave the listener entertained, inspired, and ready to take on the world. Living life in true artist form, she and her husband built a tiny house and were featured on HGTV's Tiny House Hunters!

Students and faculty will experience a unique experience, exploring the impact of African-descended artists and poets who made significant contributions to American music, from jazz and gospel to rock, R&B, and blues.

Beginning with the era of American slavery and continuing through the invention of rock and blues, Anitra will demonstrate how the music we enjoy today is deeply rooted in this rich history. Through a timeline of key moments, she will offer engaging discussions, captivating performances, and fascinating facts about each historical figure.

By the program's end, audience members will not only gain a deeper understanding of African American history in music and poetry, but they'll also enjoy an unforgettable concert experience.

I just wanted to thank you for your help in coordinating the Anitra Jay event here at Monmouth and for putting her on our radar! Karen and I both thought it was such an excellent performance, and it's encouraged us to use more spaces on campus and have more live performers post-Covid.  - Cullen Marshall '22, Coordinator for Campus Events and Student Engagement, Monmouth College, Monmouth, IL

Our time with Anitra was wonderful. She arrived early on Friday.  I think she really enjoyed being able to speak and to sing in Connections. She talked about purpose and did her original music in Connections. The students enjoyed hearing from her. She was genuine and her words were timely.  Louisa Monroe, Associate Minister, Buies Creek, NC Campbell University

We had requests to bring her back in the spring from several students as well as faculty/staff. Taylor Williams, Director of Student Involvement, Tennessee Wesleyan University, Athens, TN

Anitra Jay performance for our Welcome Back Event was again, very positive and extremely well received by the students.  I am sure we will ask her back again next year.
