GERALD ALBRIGHT’S ALBRIGHT S LONE TREE SESSIONS
JONATHAN BUTLERR FRIDAY AY, SEPTEMBER 24 AT AT 8PM
Ever since boyhood, Butler has been using his gifts of song, composition, and instrumentation to communicate the m messages of his soul. Butler, an acclaimed guitarist and vocalist, has used m music as a springboard from that boyhood in which he shared a three-bedroom shack with his parents, 12 siblings, and another 13 nieces and nephew ws while growing up in South Africa. Known for his crossover blend of R& &B, pop-jazz fusion, and worship music, he remains a captivating and powerful performer, pouring his heart into selections from his immense catalogue e. His soaring, gritty but beautiful voice transports listeners to deeper realms both emotionally and spiritually. SPONSORED BY

IDEA Stages, with co-producer Control Group Productions, is excited to announce its debut live production – Sojourners Project: Busing, running in the Denver area Sept. 8-26, 2021. This pop-up immersive event unpacks the history of “desegregation” busing in Denver Public Schools, from Mrs. Rachel B. Noel (the first Black woman elected to public office in Colorado) to the 1970 school bus depot bombing, through nearly three decades of movement of young Black and Brown bodies across our city. Sojourner’s rich immersive experience combines artistry and education, with a focus on personal experiences across three generations. An interactive virtual gallery with hyperlinks will offer further learning, expanding the storytelling to reveal historical research and interviews. School performances, with accompanying curriculum, will spark dialogues with current students. Sojourners Project: Busing is an intergenerational tale of family, community and the political socio-economic landscape changes that affect how they live, learn and love. The Mason family represents the eras of segregation, integration and the new virtual hybrid systems of education. They are the caregivers and owners of Chombo Basi Mashua (vessel-bus-boat in Swahili) a sentient bus who speaks with the memory, music and emotion of the folks who once rode inside its walls and the soundscape of the city they traversed. The key to this story is their love and passing of family history, culture and knowledge. Busing marks the first live production created by IDEA Stages, and the beginning of Sojourners Project: a series of works exploring the movement of Black and Brown bodies, with or without their consent, nor the agency to tell their own stories. The project emerges from dialogue between Alicia “Lisa” Young (IDEA Stages) and Patrick Mueller (Control Group), and initiates a producing partnership focused on elevating non-White / non-cismale lead artists through the support of Control Group’s Artist Services programming. Sojourners Project: Busing is created by an all Black woman creative team, incorporating an all Black cast, and predominantly Black design and technical teams.
