Interference Series Presents: Southwest Collaborative Music Convergence

Spanning three days and nights of concerts and presentations, this is a one-of-a-kind experience for musicians and audiences alike. Along with co-director Thollem McDonas, Interference Series has invited a wide variety of collaborative musicians from around the region to create unique sonic experiences that express the dynamics of the Southwest ecologically, socially, politically, as well as in response to CCA's two exhibits, Shades of Route 66 and Route 66: Alternative Perspectives. We are grateful for the opportunity to bring together all of these exceptional artists who have spent their lives honing their craft through collaboration with others. Most of all, we are excited to share it with the community!

PARTICIPATING ARTISTS:

Abby Fisher, Betsy Hamill, Chad Kim, Chelsey Trejo, Chris Woodward, Edie Tsong, Eric Matchett, Gabby Isaac, Jeremy Schroeder, Kai Natseway, Lauren Sarah Hayes, Lillie Gordon, Michael Begay, Owen Davis, Sage Bond, Robert Clark (Igloo Martian), Rob Wallace, Somei Kundu, Spencer Huttenmeyer, Teo Morris, Thollem McDonas, and Vicki Brown.

SWCMC HISTORY

The Convergence is an extension of a concert held Feb., 2023 in Tucson that Thollem curated as part of the Peaceful Sky Benefit (www.peacefulsky.us). PSB was organized in order to raise awareness of the increasingly dangerous exercises the U.S. military is conducting in the southern desert. Based on the enthusiasm of the participants and the audiences, it became clear that the Convergence needed to happen again. The artists for this year's Convergence include musicians who participated in both 2023 and 2024 plus local musicians from Flagstaff and the Navajo Nation. Next year we are planning to open it up to more musicians from the region. See/hear you out there!
