September 7th, 2021 – A team of twelve artists brought together by Benjamin D. Smith of D.R.E.A.M. Studios Inc. will kick off the Take Back The Day Arts Festival Concert to start a wave of healing through the arts across America for the 20th anniversary of September 11. The concert will feature artists promoting new music each from their forthcoming albums set for release later this year. Also performing on stage are the youth ensemble performers who endured 6 weeks of intensive Take Back The Day Summer Camp to prepare pieces from Smith’s award winning musical, Children In The Playground. A tribute to Donna Summer will engage the audience with spectacular choreography over a bed of nostalgic disco hits. Highlighting the night will be bands, Kaotic Khaos of Washington DC, Broadway’s own Laiona Michelle, and headliner, Alex Marley, the nephew of the legendary Bob Marley.
