Twelve Literary Arts tells Cleveland stories in new collaborative album Anne Nickoloff, cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio Twelve Literary Arts is preparing to release one of its most ambitious projects yet with “In Search of the Land” a collaborative album featuring performances by about 40 poets and musicians.
The 12-track album, produced by Tall Black Guy (producer Terrel Wallace), will arrive on June 19 aka, Juneteenth, a holiday that marks the end of slavery in the United States (June 19, 1865 was the date that Union generals announced the end of the Civil War and freedom from slavery in Texas.)
The reason behind the release timing, said Twelve Literary Arts director Daniel Gray-Kontar, comes from the album’s themes.
