We Shall Overcome: A Celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. lands at Place des Arts this week (win tickets)

Days before this year’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day (and the day after the 90th anniversary of Dr. King’s birth), a musical celebration of his life and work lands at Montreal’s Théâtre Maisonneueve at Place des Arts. “We Shall Overcome: A Celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.” arrives in Montreal on January 16 for the only Canadian stop on the 40+ city tour.

Put together by multi-instrumentalist and producer Damien Sneed (who has collaborated with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Diana Ross), the 9-piece ensemble will perform a selection of music ranging from gospel to R&B to spiritual standards, intercut with selections from Dr. King’s speeches.


Tickets for the Montreal show range from $35.52 – $95.80, and we have a pair up for grabs to a lucky winner! To enter the draw, simply email “contests@badfeelingmag.com” with the subject line “We Shall Overcome.” We will select a winner at random early next week. In the meantime, you can check out footage of the Stevie Wonder hit “Higher Ground” from a recent “We Shall Overcome” performance below. Tickets for the Montreal show are available via the Place des Arts website now.
