Adamenses Huckster is the over the top, gregarious, completely unfiltered, and generally inappropriate preacher at "The First Church of Mary, the Repentant Prostitute." The show takes place on the evening of First Church's fifth annual benefit concert, revival and pot luck dinner. So the Parishioners (audience) can expect a concert of 11 exciting, soul/gospel infused songs along with a revival unlike anything you've ever seen before. And of course....the pot luck dinner!! So come to the revival y'all... and get yourselves SAVED!!!
Musical accompaniment is by Soul'd OUT NYC, including Keys: Olivier Court; Trumpet: Paul Tafoya; Sax: Gabriel Richards; Trombone: Nick Grinder; Bass: Louis de Mieulle; Drums: Antoine Cara; and guitar: Michael San Miguel.
