SUMMARY:Natick Music Makers
DESCRIPTION:What:  Natick Music Makers  \nWhen:  Friday\, July 7\, 2023\, 7-9pm \nWhere:  Common Street Spiritual Center\, Upstairs \nHow much: Cost; 100% of your $10 entry fee goes to the center to support its mission* \nWho:  You & Us!! ? \nHello! We want to play music with YOU! \nIf you have a basic musical ability (play an instrument\, know your chords)\, We welcome you to bring your instrument; guitar\, bass\, drums\, keyboard\, ukelele\, voice\, and more – for a night of playing songs together. We’ll finish out the night with a jam. \nPoint of the event is to have fun and make music together. There is little expectation beyond that. \nFormat of the event:  we’ll play relatively easy songs which are 3-5 chords. We’ll have a list to choose from for this event\, and we’ll cast them on a screen / or have on poster-boards\, so everyone can see the chords and lyrics. We’ll draw numbers from a hat @ 7pm and that will be the order of those wanting to lead a song. If you just want to play\, then just play! \nGenres include but not limited to Rock\, Pop\, Folk\, Blues. Typically\, we’ll be mostly in 4/4 time to keep things simple. I’ll start off the 1st song to get us warmed up\, then we’ll take turns leading a song (optional if you desire to). \nNote: we’ll play mostly “clean” in terms of sound\, but some basic pedals / effects are permitted such as Wah\, Compressor\, Reverb\, Delay\, etc. Ear plugs will be available. \nAlso Note:  respectfulness of everyone’s ability level is expected\, kindness is appreciated. This is for fun\, and there is no expectation that the songs will sound like the original nor do we really desire for it to. \nKeep your alcohol and drugs and pets at home. \nWe’ll take a break about halfway through to socialize and munch on snacks. \nIf you have any questions\, you can reach me by email: MrDaveStewart@gmail.com \nHope to see you there! \n\nNatick Music Makers \n\n  \n*Free if you’re a member of Common St. Spiritual Center.  See this link if interested: https://commonstreet.org/membership/

SUMMARY:Dub Yoga
DESCRIPTION:A vinyasa flow yoga class set to live roots and dub Reggae\n\nYes\, Yoga and Reggae fusion!\n\nFREE & open to the community \n\nw/ Dr. Jen Kurz and DJ Jah Rich\, live!!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCurious about the meaning of “Dub”?\n\n\n\nWhat is Dub music? Dub is one of the many sub genres of Reggae music. Dub is instrumental Reggae that is artistically enhanced and layered with effects like echo and reverb as well as production techniques like splicing in snipits of vocals or sporadically dropping out all the instruments except for the powerful\, stripped down drum and bass.\n\n\n\nDub gives the recording engineer the opportunity to become the musician as their multi-track mixing console acts as the instrument. An engineer making Dub is like a chef creating a unique meal not often seen on most menus!\n\n\n\nJamaican producer and engineer King Tubby is commonly known as the creator of Dub\, as he first experimented with ways to manipulate and “dub out” his instrumental tracks in the early 1970s. Today\, his innovation and influence is widely seen in genres like techno\, drum and bass\, and electronic music overall. Dub stands as another example of the rich contributions of Jamaican music.\n\n\nJah Rich 7/19/23

SUMMARY:Sound Meditation with Mike Tamburo
DESCRIPTION:Sound Meditation with Mike Tamburo \nEnter a timeless space of listening as Crown of Eternity’s Mike Tamburo orchestrates his way through 40+ overtone rich instruments including Gongs\, Bells\, Hammered Dulcimer and tuned metal instruments. Listeners have described Mike Tamburo’s music as an adventure in listening; sonic bliss; a deep and lasting vibrational rejuvenation for body and spirit; a profound aesthetic experience; a journey through the senses and a perceptual rollercoaster. Allow yourself to be still and listen. \nBio \nMike Tamburo is a world-renowned musician\, composer\, artist and educator. He is known and loved for his transformational live concerts performed on his personally curated set of gongs\, bells and other metal instruments. \nA lifelong multi-instrumentalist\, Tamburo has focused his talents on metal percussion instruments\, string instruments (hammered dulcimer\, guitar\, zither\, shahi baaja)\, as well as electronic instruments (synths\, looping). \nSince 1994\, Tamburo has shared more than 2\,000 concerts and workshops. He has recorded over 70 albums\, both solo and in collaboration with Crown of Eternity\, Meisha\, Arco Flute Foundation\, Psychic Frost\, Brother Ong and more\, ranging from epic gong music to ecstatic and transcendental string music\, as well as folk\, drone\, space rock\, ambient\, mantra music and sometimes unclassifiable sounds. This man loves music in all its forms! \nHe teaches gong music\, both in person and online with School of Gong. He is also a part of the far-reaching ethnomusicology trio\, Dig Deeper\, with Mitch Nur and Thomas Orr Anderson. Their online classes have explored countless musical concepts with a focus on the cultural and personal uses of sound for healing\, meditation\, trance\, ecstatic states\, relaxation\, self transformation\, perception\, psycho-acoustics\, scientific discovery\, time and community. \nAn early adoptee of meditation\, Tamburo’s music offers space for journeying\, self-exploration and deep introspection. During many of his early performances\, he experienced altered states of consciousness and out of body experiences. To understand these experiences\, he explored kundalini yoga\, energy work\, the therapeutic use of sound and how sound impacts consciousness\, human perception and self healing. His love for long sustained drones\, overtones and psychoacoustics continues to inspire him to explore music in further directions. \nTamburo is also an interdisciplinary sound artist\, instrument builder\, video artist\, sound therapist\, writer and meditation teacher. \nwww.miketamburomusic.com\nInstagram.\n@mike_tamburo \n———————— \nVideos\n \n \nhttps://tickets.brightstarevents.com/event/mike-tamburo-live-in-natick \n

SUMMARY:Dub Yoga
DESCRIPTION:A vinyasa flow yoga class set to live roots and dub Reggae\n\nYes\, Yoga and Reggae fusion!\n\nFREE & open to the community \n\nw/ Dr. Jen Kurz and DJ Jah Rich\, live!!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCurious about the meaning of “Dub”?\n\n\n\nWhat is Dub music? Dub is one of the many sub genres of Reggae music. Dub is instrumental Reggae that is artistically enhanced and layered with effects like echo and reverb as well as production techniques like splicing in snipits of vocals or sporadically dropping out all the instruments except for the powerful\, stripped down drum and bass.\n\n\n\nDub gives the recording engineer the opportunity to become the musician as their multi-track mixing console acts as the instrument. An engineer making Dub is like a chef creating a unique meal not often seen on most menus!\n\n\n\nJamaican producer and engineer King Tubby is commonly known as the creator of Dub\, as he first experimented with ways to manipulate and “dub out” his instrumental tracks in the early 1970s. Today\, his innovation and influence is widely seen in genres like techno\, drum and bass\, and electronic music overall. Dub stands as another example of the rich contributions of Jamaican music.\n\n\nJah Rich 7/19/23

SUMMARY:Natick Music Makers
DESCRIPTION:What:  Natick Music Makers  \nWhen:  First Fridays\, 7-9pm \nWhere:  Common Street Spiritual Center\, Upstairs \nHow much: Cost; 100% of your $10 entry fee goes to the center to support its mission* \nWho:  You & Us!! ? \nHello! We want to play music with YOU! \nIf you have a basic musical ability (play an instrument\, know your chords)\, We welcome you to bring your instrument; guitar\, bass\, drums\, keyboard\, ukelele\, voice\, and more – for a night of playing songs together. We’ll finish out the night with a jam. \nPoint of the event is to have fun and make music together. There is little expectation beyond that. \nFormat of the event:  we’ll play relatively easy songs which are 3-5 chords. We’ll have a list to choose from for this event\, and we’ll cast them on a screen / or have on poster-boards\, so everyone can see the chords and lyrics. We’ll draw numbers from a hat @ 7pm and that will be the order of those wanting to lead a song. If you just want to play\, then just play! \nGenres include but not limited to Rock\, Pop\, Folk\, Blues. Typically\, we’ll be mostly in 4/4 time to keep things simple. I’ll start off the 1st song to get us warmed up\, then we’ll take turns leading a song (optional if you desire to). \nNote: we’ll play mostly “clean” in terms of sound\, but some basic pedals / effects are permitted such as Wah\, Compressor\, Reverb\, Delay\, etc. Ear plugs will be available. \nAlso Note:  respectfulness of everyone’s ability level is expected\, kindness is appreciated. This is for fun\, and there is no expectation that the songs will sound like the original nor do we really desire for it to. \nKeep your alcohol and drugs and pets at home. \nWe’ll take a break about halfway through to socialize and munch on snacks. \nIf you have any questions\, you can reach me by email: MrDaveStewart@gmail.com \nHope to see you there! \n\nNatick Music Makers \n\n  \n*Free if you’re a member of Common St. Spiritual Center.  See this link if interested: https://commonstreet.org/membership/
