The Campfireball ‘reverse-storytelling’ event is part game-show, part talk-show, part immersive theatre experiment created entirely and spontaneously out of the stories and lives of the people in the audience. Hosted by Cory Howard (Moth Grand Slam winner, National Storytelling Festival performer), The Campfireball builds itself on contributions from the audience, upending the traditional passive viewing experience, creating an active, one-time-only, living, breathing story that puts the audience right in the center of the narrative. There’s nothing to prepare and nothing to fear, all participation is completely voluntary (safe for introverts, fun for extroverts!), no one will be called out or called on, and every story needs a listener. Workshopped and developed in a master's program for storytelling, The Campfireball's aim is to facilitate connection, surprises ourselves with our own stories and memories, exemplify the depth of every person, and...to the answer to the question what IF Mister Roger's was the host of Double Dare??

For a breathtaking hour, she embodies the "spirit" of Harriet Tubman from her early childhood to her elder years. Audiences share standing ovations, cheers and tears at this performance.

Leslie McCurdy invokes the 'spirit' of Harriet Tubman as she portrays the life of the famous Underground Railroad conductor, recreating stories familiar and some rarely told, using words said to have been Harriet TubmanÂ¹s own. Through it all we learn of the faith and conviction that drove Harriet Tubman to follow her dreams; the spirit of the past connecting with the present, inspiring her charges to have the courage to do the same in envisioning their future.

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.

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.

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.

Adventurers, investors, artists, and young entrepreneurs are flocking to the Motor City, bringing with them energy, creativity and innovation. The city and its people are inspired again. It is also the Motor City where Aretha Franklin, Parliament-Funkadelic, Stevie Wonder, and Marvin Gaye all lived and created. A town where singers are continually influencing and defining the world around themselves. Laura Rain is a product of her surroundings, a hard driving soul singer who uses the power and finesse of her own voice to inspire and electrify your spirit. Born and raised in Detroit, she delivers her original music with fearless emotion and excitement. Along with her creative partner George Friend, the pair have released five albums and nine singles with a unique blend of contemporary funky soul, blues and r&b worthy of Detroit’s rich history of musical innovators. Laura Rain creates her own environment of expression through her music. Since forming in 2012, the band blends their favorite elements of vintage soul, funky ‘60s organ boogaloo, lowdown blues, dance music, and old-school R&B. Laura and producer-songwriter George Friend have created a unique style, winning numerous Detroit Music Awards for “Outstanding Soul/R&B Group” and "Outstanding R&B Songwriters". They have spent the last ten years heavily touring the U.S. Canada and Europe performing theaters, festivals and events.
