The Persuasions at The Tin Pan

Dinner Other Beer, Wine, Spirits Live Music

What’s Happening?

The Persuasions were born in Brooklyn in 1962, singing a cappella under corner streetlights and in subway corridors. Their voices powerfully echoed through their urban terrain, weaving gospel, soul, early rock and jazz into melodic five-part harmonies. Since being discovered by Frank Zappa, The Persuasions have recorded 26 albums to date featuring their uniquely re-imagined arrangements of music of Frank Zappa, U2, The Beatles, The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan and Barenaked Ladies. They have worked with an eclectic set of who is who of American iconic artists, from Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon and The Grateful Dead. Their fans are consistently treated to a vocal buffet of soulful, harmonic and joyful tracks free of any instrumental enhancements, with the exception of their critically acclaimed masterful collaboration with Canadian rock group, Barenaked Ladies in 2016.

Jayotis Washington, Ray Sanders, Dave Revels and Samuel White, Lawrence Anthony and Elmore Martin are the voices and talent of The Persuasions today. Sweet Joe Russell, Tuobo Rhoades and Jimmy Hayes were continuously with the group from 1962 until being recruited by the Choir of Angels in Heaven, most recently in 2017. With their current lineup which has vocal arranger Dave Revels at the helm, The Persuasions have performed to sold out shows from New York, Canada and overseas, including tours in Japan at The Cotton Club.

The Persuasions were honored by the Brooklyn Borough President with a hometown Proclamation in 2017. Their reign as The Kings of A Cappella continues on stronger than ever.
