It is a versatile vessel\, symbolizing the connection between culture and purpose. \nWe’re excited to present an exclusive first look at this year’s signature art piece and theme\, “A Change is Gonna Come” by Talle Bamazi. This captivating painting features Talle’s iconic calabash alongside a butterfly\, symbolizing transformation and growth—representing our collective potential to become better individuals and create a better world. Inspired by the legendary Sam Cooke\, whose music echoed themes of hope and change\, this piece beautifully intertwines cultural symbolism with the powerful message that a change is gonna come. \nJoin us in celebrating this extraordinary art and vision!

SUMMARY:An Evening with David Francey
DESCRIPTION:Honest stories of real people and places. \nDavid Francey is a Scottish-born Canadian carpenter-turned-songwriter\, who has become known as “one of Canada’s most revered folk poets and singers” (Toronto Star). In concert David is a singer and a storyteller. His wry humor and astute observations combined with his openhearted singing style have earned him a loyal following. For decades\, he worked across Canada in rail yards\, construction sites\, and in the Yukon bush\, all the while writing poetry\, setting it to melodies in his head\, and singing it to himself as he worked. When he was in his 40s\, his wife\, artist Beth Girdler\, encouraged him to share his songs and sing in public. The reaction was instant. His first album Torn Screen Door (1999) was a hit in Canada. Since then\, David has released thirteen albums\, won four Juno Awards\, and has had his songs covered by artists such as The Del McCoury Band\, The Rankin Family\, James Keelaghan\, and Tracy Grammer. His 2023 album\, The Breath Between\, is a poignant yet beautiful reminder of the passage of time.

SUMMARY:Six String Concerts present Susan Werner with Pat Byrne
DESCRIPTION:Positivity and hopefulness\, encapsulated in well-crafted songs. \nOver the course of her twenty-five-year career\, Susan Werner has earned a reputation as “one of the most innovative songwriters working today” (Chicago Tribune). With formidable chops on guitar (she began playing at age 5) and piano (she was a guest on Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz)\, along with a graduate degree in voice performance\, her shows are a one-woman master class in musicianship. Although best known as an acoustic songwriter that came up through coffeehouses and folk festivals\, the Chicago-based artist has written songs in the style of Gershwin and Cole Porter (I Can’t Be New\, 2004)\, gospel music (The Gospel Truth\, 2007)\, traditional Cuban “son” (An American In Havana\, 2016)\, and New Orleans junk piano (NOLA\, 2019). In 2014 she composed the music and lyrics for the musical theater show Bull Durham\, A New Musical (MGM). Her songs have been recorded by Tom Jones\, Michael Feinstein\, and Shemekia Copeland\, and her latest recording of originals\, Halfway to Houston\, took flight in March 2024. \nsusanwerner.com \nPat Byrne migrated from Ireland to Austin\, Texas\, in 2017. Since then\, he has melded two musical cultures known for introspective lyricism and raw\, from-the-heart emotion—with spectacular results. In 2019\, Pat had breakout performances at the 30A Festival\, SXSW\, Kerrville Folk Festival\, and the Americana Festival. His 2021 release\, Into the Light\, was named a top 10 album of the year by the Austin American Statesman. Pat takes the listener on an emotional journey with lyrics both touching and agonizing—heightened by his dynamic vocal style. \npatbyrne-music.com
