For many years, the late, great soul singer Sharon Jones played wedding gigs while working as a corrections officer. Then, in her forties, for her second act, came a record deal and a partnership with the Dap-Kings, a band whose resume includes work with such artists as Amy Winehouse and Al Green, Sturgill Simpson, Kesha, and Mark Ronson.

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings became known for their roof-raising shows, fiery horn section, and of course, the defiant yet vulnerable vocals of their singer Sharon Jones, who died in 2016 from pancreatic cancer. As we go through the archives during a time when our performance studio is dark, we look back to 2010 when Miss Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings joined us to celebrate the release of their fourth album, I Learned the Hard Way, in a live performance from The Greene Space.
