“Unknown Soldier” by Sha Cage and E.G. Bailey

The co-founders of the MN Spoken Word Association perform multi-dimensional work.

Writers, actors and performers Sha Cage and E.G. Bailey –who also happen to be married to each other—are the co-founders of the Minnesota Spoken Word Association. Their wide-ranging storytelling talents are center stage in their collaborative work “Unknown Soldier.” Cage and Bailey like adding music to the mix. The band Madiba provided the soundtrack to this clip from MN Original in 2013.
