In celebration of Bill Withers' birthday, we invite you to experience music that will ignite your soul with this amazing, heartfelt Live Outside performance at Mark's Park by Kori Withers, daughter of the legendary Bill Withers, and friends, in a tribute to her father with a rendition of his beloved classic, "Grandma's Hands."
This soulful performance featuring Chris Pierce, Rock Deadrick, David Leach, Sam Meek, Alana Alberg and Deron Johnson, honors the timeless lyrics that celebrate the love and wisdom of a grandmother's touch, and Kori's connection to the song is palpable, carrying the legacy and spirit of her father's music with grace and power.
“Grandma's Hands” is an ode to Bill Withers' grandmother, Lula Carter Galloway. This story of gratitude and shared memories will be told in a beautifully illustrated children's book from Freedom Three Publishing, in collaboration with the Withers Family, debuting August 15, 2023. The book is available for pre-order now at The Playing For Change Official Store.
"Bill Withers' song 'Grandma's Hands' is a poignant tribute to the nurturing presence of his grandmother during his childhood. We wanted to create a visual story that could share that same message with children today. R. Gregory Christie's stunning and evocative illustrations bring heart and spirit to the story. We hope this book inspires young readers to cherish their family and elders." —Joel Harper, Founder of Freedom Three Publishing
The power of music touches hearts and transcends generations and this performance is a testament to the enduring impact of Bill Withers' musical legacy.
One Love,
Playing For Change
