LINEUP
January 12th
- Samurai Gypsies - This Passionate, High-energy, gypsy soul-fire acoustic ensemble takes listeners on an exotic scintillating journey of sensual grooves and wild crescendos to keep you captivated.Taking music with African, flamenco, latin and jazz roots into some deliciously sexy and cerebral places.
- Colin Martin - Music is really where it all begins, middles, and ends with Colin. He's a multi-instrumentalist, singer, lyricist, educator, traveler, lover and family man who uses music to the best in everyone. His music and presence are captivating and will have your heart melting.
February 9th
Lauren Arrow - Lauren Arrow (she/her) is a queer Jewitch song-tender and facilitator whose main joy is sharing music and helping folks reclaim their voice and bloom into their creativity. Her music brings strong reminders of self-love, acceptance and purpose and her performances are engaging and heart utterly warming.
March 9th
Lydia Violet - Lydia Violet is an Iranian-Armenian-American folk multi-instrumentalist, revolution-bringer, culture-tender, grief-worker, and mischief-maker. With her live band, she weaves together her songwriting, folk standards, Iranian ballads, 3-part harmonies, fiddle tunes, banjo, and collective singing into an altar of music for the troubles of our time. She'll be sharing a "stomp 'n sing" with lively back and forth between soulful songs and songs that bring in the audience community singing style, in an inclusive and accessible way.
