The HawtPlates

Friday, August 14, 2026 · 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Granite Prospect

Join for a performance by The HawtPlates on Friday, August 14 at Pier 1, Granite Prospect.

The HawtPlate’s music breaks down vernacular music styles into multiple modes of vocalizing, producing their sound and songs in the spirit of the family heirloom. Their work honors lineage while reporting a universally human experience.  Experimental and unique to them as a trio and family, The HawtPlates create soul music that feels rooted and lived in yet indifferent to genre.

Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriters The HawtPlates have collaborated with Meshell Ndegeocello, Abigail DeVille, Kaneza Schaal, Hilton Als, Helga Davis, Steffani Jemison, Reggie “Regg Roc” Gray and The D.R.E.A.M. Ring, National Black Theater, The Public Theater, Performance Space New York, Symphony Space and The Park Avenue Armory among many others.  The HawtPlates is comprised of drama desk-nominated singer-songwriter/artist Justin Hicks, his sister, singer-songwriter Jade Hicks, and his wife Tony-nominated actor/singer Kenita Miller-Hicks.

This is a free, walk-up event. No reservations are required. Attendees are welcome to bring chairs to set-up on the pavement.
