UNBOUND: A Juneteenth Celebration at Sugar Mouse NYC – New York, NY

Join us at Sugar Mouse on June 19th, 2026, at 7:30 pm for a powerful showcase that traces the journey of Black expression from struggle to triumph told through the lyricism of Black music legends!

Directed by Milan Parodie, co-music directed by Jamiel T Burkhart & Akaya Winston, produced by Jamiel T Burkhart, in association with JTB Productions, this immersive show tells a story of pain, resilience, and glory through electrifying Black music spanning generations. Each rhythm and movement reflects moments of hardship, resistance, joy, and victory that have shaped Black history and culture.

The soundtrack weaves through time, featuring the soul and spirit of legends like Ray Charles, Nina Simone, and Donny Hathaway, alongside the modern impact of artists such as Beyonce, John Legend, and Michael Jackson, lyrically connecting past and present through sound. From gospel roots to soul, hip hop, and beyond, the music underscores a narrative of survival, creativity, and influence.

This is more than a performance. It is a celebration, a remembrance, and a testament to the enduring power of Black culture told through voice and beat.

Come witness history move.
