SUMMARY:Six Strings Concerts - Leslie Mendelson with JD Eicher
DESCRIPTION:Resonant\, delightful\, and unapologetically mind-blowing.\nBrooklyn-based singer/songwriter Leslie Mendelson’s timeless musicality and evocative songwriting cuts a wide swath. Leslie brings to mind “…1970s songwriter influences in the vein of Carole King and Carly Simon\,” (All Music). Her 2009 debut album Swan Feathers was nominated for a Grammy. Her most recent studio album\, If You Can’t Say Anything Nice\, examines the current socio-political climate\, a theme that is an extension of the socially conscious outlook offered on “A Human Touch\,” her duet with Jackson Browne for the documentary film 5B. \nhttps://www.lesliemendelson.com/ \nSongs that are deep and powerful.\nJD Eicher\, a singer\, songwriter\, and novelist from the Youngstown\, Ohio area\, has released nine albums and created an EP for Nicholas Sparks’ novel\, Two by Two. He has shared billing with Dave Matthews Band\, Coldplay\, Kelly Clarkson\, and many others. “Eicher’s gin-smooth vocals and engaging melodies have afforded him acclaim and affection from fans and contemporaries alike” (Columbus Underground). \nhttps://jdeicher.com/ \nTicket price is $5 for under age 18.

SUMMARY:Hanif Abdurraqib "There's Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension" - Columbus Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Growing up in Columbus\, Ohio\, in the 1990s\, Hanif Abdurraqib witnessed a golden era of basketball\, one in which legends like LeBron James were forged and countless others weren’t. His lifelong love of the game leads Abdurraqib into a lyrical\, historical\, and emotionally rich exploration of what it means to make it\, who we think deserves success\, the tension between excellence and expectation\, and the very notion of role models\, all of which he expertly weaves together with intimate\, personal storytelling. “Here is where I would like to tell you about the form on my father’s jump shot\,” Abdurraqib writes. “The truth\, though\, is that I saw my father shoot a basketball only one time.” \nThere’s Always This Year is a triumph\, brimming with joy\, pain\, solidarity\, comfort\, outrage\, and hope. No matter the subject of his keen focus—whether it’s basketball\, or music\, or performance—Hanif Abdurraqib’s exquisite writing is always poetry\, always profound\, and always a clarion call to radically reimagine how we think about our culture\, our country\, and ourselves. \nPURCHASE TICKETS
