Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a fierce guitar playing gospel music legend, an unsung influence on Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jimi Hendrix, and Ray Charles. This magnetic play with music unearths the roots of the fearless “Godmother of Rock ’n’ Roll” and her wide-eyed protégée Marie Knight, as they begin their revolutionary ascent to become one of the most influential teams in music history.
