Album Notes

Zhe Clampitt releases her mini album in anticipation of her first full-length album. This album, Live at the Karas House, is a live recording of Zhe Clampitt and jazz and blues guitarist Robert Penn of Inkster, MI during Redford Township’s Martin Luther King Faith Celebration January 15, 2005. The album features 4 songs: They’ll Know we are Christians by Our Love; Come, Now is the Time To Worship; Lift Every Voice and Sing; and Promises by India.Arie.

They’ll Know We Are Christians by Our Love is a soulfully played violin Hymn that Zhe plays deep to the rhythmic pulse of your soul.

Come, Now is the Time To Worship is a mellow upbeat call to worship. Zhe skillfully keeps you riveted but balanced with this piece.

Lift Every Voice and Sing played by Zhe is a keepsake classic piece that you can’t be without. You can sing while she plays.

Promises by India.Arie played by Zhe gives a taste of neo soul that moves you in a delightful way.


This four-song disk is sure to be a classic as it is the premiere limited edition of Zhe’s masterful violin catalogue.
