Joshua Henry’s Get Up, Stand Up! is a soulful bop through the songs that have moved and grooved us through the decades. Henry showcases his incredible range as he flows seamlessly from the classic soul of Nina Simone, Marvin Gaye, and Sam Cooke to Broadway gems by Stephen Sondheim, Rodgers &amp; Hammerstein, and original selections from his solo album.&nbsp;
