Opening her set with a scintillating, soulful interpretation of Woody Guthrie\u2019s most famous song \u201cThis Land is Your Land\u201d, Philly A-list entertainer Tiffany Jones<\/a> captured her audience at Glen Providence Park from the get-go<\/strong> – providing a powerful kick-off to our 2018 Arts in the Park season on June 24. <\/p>\n

Ms. Jones delivered her smooth yet sweetly intense brand of heartfelt \u201csoul-jazz \u201c fusion through a combination of original compositions and eclectic covers.<\/strong> The heartfelt lyrics of her self-penned \u201cYou Touched Me\u201d and \u201cHim\u201d floated on the solid foundation provided by the band\u2019s jazz riff-infused melodies. Her ballad-style take on Lenny Kravitz\u2019s \u201cIt Ain\u2019t Over Till It\u2019s Over\u201d was simply brilliant. <\/p>\n

Tiffany very gracefully brought her show to a slightly advanced close as a rain shower approached Glen Providence Park, but audience members remained to greet, thank and complement her personally.  <\/p>\n

Having so sincerely interpreted and performed his 1940 masterpiece of social observation directly from a WPA-era stage platform, Woody would have been the first to stand for Sunday\u2019s audience ovation for Tiffany Jones.<\/p>\n
