Croatan debut

Our debut show opening up for Papertrigger this past Saturday night at Johnny Brenda's was a good one. One of the other opening bands had to cancel, and we got to up our playtime to about a half hour, and add a song. All told we played kou kou (psalters only), tiriba, and yankadi-makru (with jole singing). It was so much fun, half the crowd got really into it, and the other half didnt seem to know what to think of us....not ironic enough I guess. Check out the videos here:

There are 3 parts.....marvel at the blindfolded Joshua Grace and his hands of danger!

Croatan Drummers

Im playing now with this drum troupe called Croatan Drummers.....

which has been coming out of the West African Drum Classes and Jay Beck's ongoing vision for a multicultural arts and education studio connected with Psalters, Circle of Hope, and all kinds of other cool things. We've been practicing three songs for our first performance:

Tiriba

Yankadi-Makru

And we're also going to sing this piece at the end of Makru called Jole. All in all its going to be pretty epic. Come by, we'll be playing in between sets:
