The Ukiah Community Concert Association presents

John Reischman & The Jaybirds

A satisfying blend of traditional and modern styles, this is Bluegrass music at its best. Now in their 20th year, with seven acclaimed albums and two Juno nominations, the Jaybirds are simultaneously innovative and unadorned, sophisticated and stripped-down, happily old-fashioned and 21st-century contemporary. In addition to mandolinist and composer John Reischman, the Jaybirds consists of guitarist Patrick Sauber, brilliant lead vocalist Trisha Gagnon, Canadian banjo picker Nick Hornbuckle, and fiddle virtuoso Greg Spatz.

Tickets:

• Tickets are $25 for open seating and $30 for the “I wanna see the hands” section.
• Tickets will be available one month before the performance at the Mendocino Book Company in Ukiah, Mazahar in Willits, and through Brown Paper Tickets. If not completely sold out, tickets may be available at the door.

Featuring the works of Evan Hobart, Heather Law, and Kala Stein

The three artists featured in Mendocino College Gallery's latest exhibition create works that consider the implications of our human imprint on nature. Art that creates a deeper awareness of the environmental impact of our actions and inspires a shift toward more sustainable living is Heather Law's passion. 

Kala Stein works at the intersection of craft, design, and sustainability, exploring notions of beauty and loss in the natural world. 

Evan Hobart describes his work as, "A platform to discuss the past, present, and future, utilizing the intersection of humanity and nature to comment on modern-day life." He continues, "My work examines today's world and elaborates on many of its facets such as global climate change, politics, war, religion, society, over-development, and possibly the eventual extinction. Unpleasant as it is to confront some of these issues, it is the work (obligation) of the artist and teacher, now and in the past, to do so - in a creative and thought-provoking way." 

All three artists work primarily in the medium of ceramics.

Free and open to the public!

Krissy Keefer’s Dance Brigade Presents:

A Woman’s Song for Peace

Featuring
HOLLY NEAR, FERRON & DANCE BRIGADE
with Christelle Durandy, Jan Martinelli, Tammy Lynne Hall, Michaelle Goerlitz, Shelley Jennings

A Tribute to the Past, A Vision for the Future

The highlight of Dance Brigade’s 50th Anniversary Celebration Season will be the creation, performance, and touring of A Woman’s Song for Peace – a new dance theater work featuring original, live music by iconic musician and activist Holly Near, seminal queer feminist singer-songwriter Ferron, and groundbreaking Afro-Caribbean jazz artist Christelle Durandy, intertwined with Dance Brigade’s fierce, nuanced choreography and signature melding of styles with Hip Hop, Modern, Salsa, and Taiko – utilizing these storytelling components to convey a larger narrative about social justice and liberation.

A Woman’s Song for Peace is Dance Brigade’s contribution to the current political and social dialogue around peace, war, and foreign policy in our society and in the world. We bear witness to wars in the Middle East, in Ukraine, in Sudan, and a culture/rhetoric of war and violence in our own society and at our Southern border. As we move through an intense and divisive Presidential election cycle in which these issues are front and center, we argue about specific details of foreign policy – and it’s easy to forget that we all share a basic desire for peace.

A Woman’s Song for Peace aims to reorient our audiences towards this priority, helping us remember our shared humanity. We believe that this collaboration can unify and activate people, and we offer our artistic response – a creative cry for peace – as a gift to our communities, an aid for individual and collective healing and transformation, and a vision for a way forward.
