240 -- Silence The Violence: Jeremy Elliot -- Friday, October 11, 2019 -- The Anthem -- DC

Jeremy Elliot’s performance was part of the Silence the Violence charity event that also featured Norah Jones, Mavis Staples, and Katy Perry.  During Jeremy’s section, they highlighted Building Bridges Across the River, a worthy arts organization in Anacostia.  One of its leaders had the crowd meditate in silence for 60 seconds.  This brought me back to Emma Gonzales’ powerful moment during March For Our Lives.  He concluded with these wise words: “A child suffering in Southeast needs to matter as much as a child suffering down the street.”  

I felt bad that Elliot was only on for literally one song, but he sounded good during it.  He reminded me of Bo Bice with shorter hair.  He did all he could with the opportunity.

Grade: B+
