Big Bang Boom is kids' music with a pop sensibility, aimed at being something that parents can enjoy and feel good about letting their kids listen to and see live.
Big Bang Boom plays children's favorites as well as their own original songs for kids. The live show is high-energy and demands that the crowd (the kids AND parents) get involved. From getting the kids on stage to join the "Spongebob Chorus" to the parents vs. the kids hokey pokey challenge, Big Bang Boom has established the mantra, "There is no sitting down at a Big Bang Boom show!" Their songs have won accolades in the John Lennon, USA, International, and Great American Songwriting Contests.

Silly and sweet, The Harmonica Pocket's kids music is for everyone from age Zero to Grandma.
The Harmonica Pocket, a young at heart band from Port Townsend Washington, makes thoughtful, acoustic and chill music for families with kids. Equal parts "Uplifting," "Organic," and "Clever," their "Pure pop goodness" wins audiences over with laid-back originals and playful re-workings of traditional tunes.
The Harmonica Pocket has performed for busloads of children and grownups in theaters, schools, libraries, clubs, and festivals nationally and internationally. When they take the stage - as a solo act, a duo or with the full band - audiences of all ages are taken on a fully engaging, sensory adventure filled with music, movement, color and unexpected props.
Solo shows incorporate live loops to "build a band" right in front of the audience's ears. Acoustic guitar, ukulele, bass, wah-wah guitar solos and (of course) harmonicas fill out a big sound for a solo performer with only a handful of instruments and a loop pedal on stage.
The Harmonica Pocket has a lot of fun onstage and every interactive, highly improvised, all-ages show gets kids and grown-ups laughing, singing and moving in their seats.
The interactivity of The Harmonica Pocket live show is a natural fit for classroom and community learning venues. Teaching Artist Workshops are designed to bring our signature-style creative process into instructional settings and engage students of all levels in learning through the arts.
We have experience working with a range of settings and age levels, including traditional and non-traditional preK-12 settings, as well as with adult learners.

Meet Mungo, a true artistic chameleon whose creativity knows no bounds. With a passion for dance, a talent for art and design, and a knack for making music, Mungo is a versatile artist who defies categorization. He is a true polymath, and he proudly describes himself as protean, constantly shape-shifting his creative expression to explore new horizons.
Growing up listening to the likes of Oliver Mtukudzi, Nina Simone, Bob Marley and Hugh Masekela, Mungo taps into a unique sound and in the words of a fan, a “Heart-Chakra-opening” positive vibe that is universally enjoyed by audiences. Mungo’s music embraces R&B, afrobeat, and a soulful vulnerability, turning upside down his own truths to uncover feelings we all share as people. And to Mungo, the South African dance music genre Amapiano (synths, wide basslines, and soulful piano) sounds like home. The single and music video WISH YOU'D SEE—a project Mungo shot with Director Dir Ubwino and dancer friends in Malawi—created intercontinental buzz when it racked up 10,000 views on YouTube in its first week after being released. The lead single was the prelude to his recent body of work, “WISHES”, a four-track EP exploring the concept of hopes and dreams. Mungo brings uncommon showmanship and attention to detail to his craft and embodies art in all its forms—from designing and sewing the clothes he performs in onstage (and oftentimes those of his band) to creating choreography to the music he writes and produces. A versatile and evolving artist, Mungo is eager to get on the road, bringing his soulful, stylishly costumed and choreographed performances to new audiences throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

Quarteto Nuevo merges western classical, eastern European folk, Latin and jazz with an organic feel that packs a wallop! Winners of two South Arts Jazz Road Tours grants as well as a $40,000 Creative Residency Grant, the ensemble has composed new movements for its Jazz Road Suite celebrating each state they visit! Colorado, Wyoming and Utah were featured in 2020. In Fall 2021 the group added Montana to the suite while touring in four Big Sky communities! This season they visited Alaska (one of the many tours that came about from their stunning ANW Juried Showcase performance in 2022), Oregon, California, Nevada, and Arizona and will record the Nine Movement Jazz Road Suite in a booking at ASU's Kerr Cultural Center. Their diverse programs can be tailored to fit anywhere, from an intimate chamber music venue to a large outdoor festival. Known for engaging outreach programs that include pop-up concerts in community venues, Quarteto’s master musicians create emotionally charged soundscapes with instruments and sensibilities that represent very different world cultures. Their unique instrumentation – soprano saxophone/woodwinds (Damon Zick), cello (Jacob Szekely), guitar (Kenton Youngstrom), and hand percussion (Felipe Fraga) – richly colors their wide-ranging repertoire.
Winners of the Beverly Hills National Auditions, Quarteto Nuevo travels a musical journey that begins with Erik Satie and Heitor Villa-Lobos, and takes us to Chick Corea and their own stunning original compositions.
Quarteto Nuevo offers young musicians some of the most innovative programs in the world! The group’s commitment to music education is evidenced by the hundreds of workshops given across the U.S. for all ages of music students. Workshops are designed to vary in length from 45 to 90 minutes. The group is capable of teaching in a wide variety of styles from Classical and Jazz to Brazilian and other world styles. We work with your educators to tailor the content and format of each class to meet their specific needs.

Renowned jazz, blues and gospel singer Leonard Patton teamed up with the critically acclaimed Danny Green Trio to form LP And The Vinyl. The band’s wide array of influences includes everything from jazz, R&B, and rock, to 80’s and 90’s hits, Brazilian music, and classical music. Blending these sounds together, LP And The Vinyl has created a highly unique and personal approach to music-making that leaves its audiences energized and craving more. The group’s repertoire draws from three separate areas: beautifully reimagined renditions of favorite hits by artists including Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, and David Bowie, fresh and funky explorations of jazz standards, and their own original songs. Since their formation in 2015, LP And The Vinyl has performed at the Telluride Jazz Festival, the Vail Jazz Festival, Laguna Festival of the Arts, Chandler Center for the Arts, and the Museum of Making Music. Touring in the Northwest in Spring of 2022!
The members of LP And The Vinyl are all devoted music educators. They offer a variety of lectures geared toward musicians and non-musicians, as well as clinics for jazz ensembles. In addition to in-person outreach, the group has also hey have also developed virtual outreach materials including videos and a study guide. They were selected for a week-long residency at Quad City Arts which took place in April, 2022.
Lectures:
Through a combination of performance and discussion, LP And The Vinyl takes the audience into the mind of a jazz musician - a behind the scenes look at the composing and creative process, improvisation, and interaction techniques, and the function of each instrument in the ensemble. Lectures also cover elements of jazz history, placing an emphasis on how music from cultures all around the world shaped and continue to shape jazz. Lectures are intended for both musicians and non- musicians, and can be customized for all age levels.
Clinics:
Clinics with LP And The Vinyl are intensive studies designed to nurture students’ growth as musicians, both technically and creatively. Each member of the group works closely with individual students and with the ensemble as a whole.

The saxophone, invented in the 1840’s by Adolphe Sax, has proven to be one of the most versatile wind instruments to ever be created. It has crossed over into many genres of musical styles and historical creations of a mélange of sound. The mission of the Encore Saxophone Quartet is to provide the listening audience with an exciting and memorable voyage...to revisit times past, create new beginnings, and to join us on a trip of new-found adventures.
With a unique blending of innovative and diverse programming, along with informal narrative, the Encore Saxophone Quartet transports its listeners on a musical journey that exhibits the many colorful sound possibilities encompassing the sound spectrum of the saxophone in a quartet setting.
Equally at home for local, streamed or hybrid events, the four members of the quartet are all experienced educators.
Specifically for workshops, the Encore
Saxophone Quartet will demonstrate each of
the saxophones; its history, sizes, and their
ranges, along with additional information:
1. Showing the reed and how it produces sound.
2. Importance of the mouthpiece for different styles
of music.
3. Describing the different metals saxophones can
be made from and how it effects the sound.
4. Discussing various specialty techniques and
sound effects from the modern-day saxophonist.
i.e.: growls, slap tongue, timbre changes, etc.
5. Demonstrating variations in sounds of the
saxophone to fit different musical styles. i.e.:
Classical versus Jazz.
6. Playing in a chamber music setting.

Jarabe Mexicano captures the nostalgic spirit of their border roots with their brand of "Bordeño-Soul," which honors the musical tastes and cultural influences of its members. Jarabe, which translates to 'concoction,' highlights the eclectic mix of genres they perform ranging from Mexican Folk, Rock & Roll, and Norteño/Tex-Mex to Latin Rock, Trio Romántico, and popular Cumbia. Their traditional Mariachi string instruments and Norteño-inspired drums complement dramatic vocals in English, Spanish, and Spanglish, and shows how this multi-generational ensemble embraces change while still honoring the past.
The quintet, with its eclectic border spirit, stands out with performances by lead vocalist Gustavo Alcoser, José MartÃn Márquez on requinto, Kevin Lomes on vihuela, Chris Behrens with his guitarrón, and musical director Danny Brito on percussion. Cultural anthropologist, distinguished author, and admirer Dr. Alejandro Lugo raves that Jarabe's musicians "are truly excellent and bring new blood to the musical traditions they perform... their version of La Malagueña is simply the best I've heard in decades, if not ever."
Jarabe Mexicano introduces audiences to the music of Mexico and Latin America through live or virtual instructional programming that engages and entertains! Every performance is crafted to fit your audience response and is supported with a study guide.

The Mountain State has its Stage and the Prairie Home its Companion. Long Alaska nights gather folks at Parlor In The Round, a songwriter showcase with an improv twist! Three songwriters – a national act, a “ringer†and a local – are guided by host Kevin Worrell through rounds of songs, stories, and improv games for a night of leaned-in listening and laughing out loud.
The show opens with the rules of play and artist introductions (and some light roasting) by our Oprah-meets-Bob-Barker host. Songwriting homework follows, making each show a debut of new works. After the intermission, tradition is cast aside as the musicians dive into collaborations, jocular inventions and premeditated musings all based on written submissions from the audience.
In 2013 Anchorage-based songwriter Kevin Worrell was seeking a space for songwriters to be inspired, for the audience to be engaged and the venue to be supported. After 7 seasons (sold out since season 4) he found that Parlor In The Round creates a space that knits community closer through the novel experience of creating together.
Parlor has featured Joan Osborne, Dan Bern, Steve Poltz, John Craigie, Peter Mulvey, Quinn Christopherson, Eric Howk (Portugal. The Man) and more.

Music Improv Demonstration - Students

We have done instrument tastings (we bring approx. 26 instruments for people to try out), songwriting workshops, and slow jams.
We realize that things have changed with the pandemic, and we are more than happy to provide our own microphones.
Our instruments all plug in directly. If using our DI boxes, they will require phantom power. Kathy plays acoustic guitar, acoustic bass (Taylor GS mini), and uke. Tim plays a variety of instruments (guitar, banjo, fiddle, dulcimer, etc.).

Duende Libre is an award-winning jazz quintet whose original music draws upon the ancestral musical traditions from Cuba, Brazil, and West Africa. Each having apprenticed with direct descendants and master musicians of these traditions, they consider themselves disciples of their teachers. The result: A euphoric 21st-century jazz that honors its historical roots, pushing open the boundaries of genre to invoke a powerful sonic freedom.
“Each member’s experiences are vital as they filter West African traditional rhythms through their own hands, voices, minds, bodies, each song as much choreography as a composition,” PopMatters wrote. “Hopeful in sound as well as in ideological foundation [the band creates music] full of heart and historical multitudes.”
“PONTE EL RIMTO”
Be part of a hands-on, call-and-response rhythm and song workshop highlighting instruments from Cuba and Brazil. Clap and dance along with the beat. Presented in Spanish, Portuguese, and English. All ages & abilities welcome.
“PA’ GOZAR! INTRO TO CLAVE & AFRO-LATIN RHYTHM”
Explore the rich and varied rhythmic legacy from Brazil and the Caribbean through hands-on participation, call & response, and collective jamming. We look at clave and how it informs the interlocking parts which give this music its powerful groove. Participants will leave with a deeper appreciation and understanding of what clave is and how they can utilize it in their own music. All ages & abilities welcome.
“HELLO JAZZ!”
An introduction to American Jazz, this workshop highlights the music’s eclectic roots as well as the contributions of important African American innovators.The emphasis is on participation, including call & response and a jam session at the end. Ideal for students K-12.
“BEYOND THE CHANGES: IMPROVISING OUTSIDE THE BOX”
Improvisation takes many forms. Drawing on the work of influential jazz artist and educator Ed Sarath, this workshop explores improvisation using “non-syntactic” elements such as space, ostinato, and silence. All ages & abilities welcome.

1. Using the venue house system: we have 5 inputs and a vocal processing box that controls all the vocal reverbs, effects, and harmonies. We would prefer 2 monitor mixes (one SR and one SL).
2. Using our sound system w/ output to house system: We bring our sound system and mixer and give the house an XLR out to supplement the sound.
3. Using our sound system: with this option, we are 100% self sufficient and only need access to 1 grounded power outlet.

Trevor Panczak is an award winning country music entertainer who grew up north of Cutbank, Montana. His humor, smooth vocals, charming stage presence and energetic live show all contributed to him becoming the headline act he is today. This 6’6†“Gentle Giant†is a singer/songwriter with farm roots and country music in his blood.
Trevor is approachable, kind and a community builder. He strives to bring people together through his music and spirit.
Trevor offers an engaging, authentic country music set. He seamlessly entertains his way through original and cover material. His self penned tear jerking ballads “It’s Ok Now" and his reflective "2000 Miles" as well as his mainstream Top 50 Country hits are crowd favourites. Trevor gets his audience involved with his banter and sincerely engages them right from the first note of his set. Sing-along songs such as John Denver's "Country Roads" show his country roots but a song like, "So Happy Together" profile that he embraces, more than just the country genre.
Trevor's authenticity, talent and core values are synonymous with the spirit of country music and his professionalism, community mindedness, and approachability are some of the reasons audiences and event organizers come back for more.
Trevor and some or all of the band will perform a few songs at a school and speak to the youth about dreaming responsibly. The Q & A portion of the program is also well received by faculty and students alike. Trevor would also perform at seniors lodging.

Shannon Curtis and Jamie Hill are debuting their new album and multidisciplinary theater show "80s kids" in April 2025. 80s kids is a dynamic mixture of high-energy music performance and emotionally nuanced scripted storytelling — supported by live synthesizer score and backdropped by consistently stunning immersive video art.
You’ll hear the songs of a-ha, Pet Shop Boys, OMD, and Depeche Mode … and also songs by Nik Kershaw, Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, and more. It’s hit after hit for the entire 95-minute show, delivered with fun, infectious energy.
The story that ties the show together is centered on a narrative arc of growing up in the 80s, with a heartfelt and nostalgic takeaway that’s relatable to the current moment.
There is a natural singalong component to the show, and a pervasively joyous and fun feeling to the overall experience. It’s a smart, polished show that’s kid-tested and parent-approved!
We can do afternoon matinee concerts for kids and parents, with lower music volume and simplified, kid-friendly storytelling.
Our show is ridiculously easy to stage. All the mixing happens in Jamie’s onstage rack, and he simply sends a stereo feed to the house sound system and an HDMI cable to the projector. We are both on in-ear monitors, which also live in Jamie’s rack — meaning that we neither use nor need stage monitors.
Yes, you heard that right: two people, three inputs, no monitors. It’s the simplest show you’ll stage all year, yet it packs a terrific impact.
The production quality is very high on both the audio and video sides, and the show scales seamlessly from small to large venues.

With a fresh and modern sound infused with classic elements of folk, country, and pop, BIG SKY CITY LIGHTS creates an imaginary musical "locale" halfway between the spacious sky-filled landscapes of Montana -- home to singer-songwriter-guitarist Nick Spear -- and the urban cityscapes of New York where singer-songwriter Susan O'Dea resides. Performing both lush original music and creatively-arranged covers, they evoke wide-ranging comparisons to intimate duos like Simon & Garfunkel and The Civil Wars as well as powerhouse vocalists like Ann Wilson and Brandi Carlile. Their special brand of stripped-down contemporary folk-pop landed BIG SKY CITY LIGHTS a feature on Good Morning America and coveted spots at major music festivals, including Sisters Folk Festival and Under The Big Sky Festival on the bill with Jason Isbell, Emmylou Harris, and others.

Website: Calle Sur's Website
Calle Sur is living proof that the terms "Latinx,” Latino,” or “Hispanic” can't be summarized. Calle Sur is a combination of the multifaceted experiences of being Latin American, of coming from urban versus rural settings, of being of multiracial and multicultural origin, of mixing multi-gender perspectives.
Ed East is Panamanian. His great-grandparents moved to Panama from Barbados, and his great-grandfather worked for the railroad during the construction of the Panama Canal. Karin Stein, his Colombian partner and the granddaughter of German immigrants, grew up with no electricity on a remote farm in the eastern plains of Colombia.
Calle Sur is known for the breadth of its musical repertoire. Both musicians are immigrants to the United States who have undergone firsthand the process of adaptation to a new culture. They are veteran musicians and experienced educators who expertly perform a broad range of Latin music styles and offer a broad range of community engagement opportunities. They have been a team for 24 years. Karin and Ed excel at challenging preconceptions about Latin America and Latin Americans with beautiful sounds, comfortable skill, and an engaging stage presence.
In addition to being available for live performances, Calle Sur continues to offer virtual concerts in post-pandemic times, because they are less expensive for the presenter and therefore affordable to anyone with a limited budget for artists and school shows, and because virtual events have a much lower carbon footprint. We are happy to discuss your needs, technical capabilities, budget, and ideas to come up with an option that works well for you.

El Javi is a gifted Latin American guitarist who fearlessly explores instrumental music, transcending the confines of traditional music genres. His music is a remarkable blend of various styles and techniques that come together to create an Eclectic Spanish Guitar Experience.
An accomplished international performer, El Javi has captivated audiences across North America and Europe with his unique sound and virtuosic playing. His ability to connect with diverse audiences has established him as a truly global artist, bridging cultures through his music. In addition to his performances, El Javi offers educational masterclasses/perfomances on Spanish guitar, sharing his expertise and passion for the instrument with students and guitar aficionados of all levels.
The Denver-based composer, producer, and performer incorporates elements of flamenco, progressive rock, classical, folk, and world music to shape his compositions. Highlights of his career include supporting acts for Ziggy Marley and today's biggest voice of flamenco, Diego El Cigala. He was a featured artist in Coors Light's national campaign My Climb, My Music and a featured artist at the Guitar: The Instrument that Rocked the World exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. His international tours have taken him to prestigious venues and festivals across North America and Europe, where he continues to expand his global fanbase and showcase the universal appeal of his eclectic Spanish guitar style.
Born in Mexico City, his early studies on guitar included rock, jazz & blues. In 2000 he relocated to Los Angeles where he immersed himself in the LA music scene, which sparked his need to create something unique and more authentic, launching him to study flamenco guitar in Seville, Spain. This transition gave El Javi the inspiration to develop his own sound. El Javi has released 4 albums of original music and is also known for his unique instrumental arrangements of cover songs.
El Javi offers educational masterclasses on Spanish guitar, sharing his expertise and passion for the instrument with enthusiasts and guitar aficionados of all levels. These enriching sessions take place in a diverse array of settings, including schools, churches, senior homes, community centers, and even yoga studios, making the art of Spanish guitar accessible to a wide range of communities.
During these masterclasses, El Javi often recounts his early days in Mexico City, where the sounds of traditional Mexican music blended with the rock and roll drifting from his older siblings' rooms. He shares how this musical fusion shaped his early artistic vision and sparked his desire to create a unique sound that honors his roots while embracing new influences.
The guitarist also delves into the cultural significance of various Spanish guitar techniques, connecting them to historical events and social movements in Latin America. He might demonstrate how certain rhythms have evolved, or explain how specific melodic patterns reflect the emotional depth of cross-cultural experiences.
Through these personal anecdotes and cultural explorations, El Javi's masterclasses become more than just guitar lessons. They transform into immersive experiences that celebrate the power of music to preserve heritage, bridge cultures, and express the complex emotions of an artist's journey.

Project Convergence is home to the union of Bharatanatyam and American tap dance. Lauded by both the New York Times and The Hindu, Project Convergence presents an experience simultaneously familiar and unfamiliar to audiences by uniting two seemingly different cultures in the universal language of rhythm. The company has been featured in The Guardian, WNYC (New York Public Radio), and The Dance Enthusiast. They’ve appeared across the United States, including at Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre for the Erasing Borders Dance Festival, Lincoln Center for their 2018 Out of Doors Series, and the Houston Texan’s NRG Stadium. Excerpts of their show Taalam (Rhythm) have played to a sold out 5,000 person audience at Damrosch Park at Lincoln Center and the Citigroup Theatre at Alvin Ailey.
Project Convergence offers many outreach and educational options:
1. Post show Q/A
2. Panels on Diversity in the arts, and the barriers erected against non-ballet-based dance forms
3. "Converging Rhythms", a workshop exposing the basics of jazz and carnatic music, and merging them
4. Dance technique workshops for local dancers
5. Panels and workshops on freelance careers and common pitfalls
5. School assemblies on any of the above topics, including a performance
For sound, we require 6-8 floor mics, 6-8 pencil condenser mics, and we strongly prefer a wood floor over marley. For lighting, we require standard dance lighting, with 6 specials. We also require a headset on each side of the stage.
If lights are pre-hung and microphones are pre-placed, we can typically tech within 4 hours, and can therefore do tech and show on the same day!
Our crew requirements are small: a sound technician, lighting board operator, and one show caller

Good Co is the US’s first live Electro Swing Band, a genre
that mixes the music of the swing era with the dance

electric sounds of today's dance music.

festivals and outreach programs the world over and their
music can be heard on radio, label compilations,
independent films, and on television. The band has been a
featured performer for Benaroya Hall in Seattle, The
Smithsonian in Washington DC, and for festivals
throughout the US, Canada, and Europe. And whether it’s
performing their music 10,000 feet up in the Austrian Alps
(true story), underwater (in bathing suits no
less!) at the Bad Sulza Spa, at a community theatre,
neighborhood performance center, or local school, Good
Co is thrilled to play anywhere there’s a crowd ready for a
