This event is primarily a one woman show serving as the debut and introduction of the new book by Keelah Jackson, I Am the Gospel of Me. The show will include singing, anecdotal storytelling centered around the conception and creation of the book, artwork slideshow (featuring art from the book) and a traveling installation of the pieces that will be housed at ArtsBuild.
An environment for local professionals to reimagine their material. An opportunity for the diversity of players here to mix and match talents for an entirely new sonic outcome. Not an open jam but broad participation is encouraged. The scene is weighted towards acoustic strings, horns, and percussion, but the occasional electric instrument will be fun.
$5 cover, tips for musicians encouraged and appreciated!
