The Sucarnochee Revue, which began in February 2005,
presents Black Belt music in its most authentic

“What surprises people about the show is the
fantastic range of musical genres,” said Jacky Jack
White, the Revue’s producer and host. “We have
blues, jazz, Dixieland, gospel, bluegrass, classical
and more. Historically, there is an incredible
amount of talent in the area.”

ragtime pianist Manley Blackwell, folk singer Father
Richard Losch and Broadway tune singer Suzanne
McGahey.
