GRAMMY Nominees Gentle Thunder & Will Clipman in Concert May 2, 2008

Ashland, OR - The State of Jefferson's very own 2006 GRAMMY nominee Gentle Thunder and four-time GRAMMY nominee Will Clipman bring their musical alchemy to Ashland, OR May 2nd, 2008 for an intimate concert. Internationally acclaimed multi-instrumentalist (grand hammer dulcimer, drums and Native American flutes), producer, composer, recording artist and visionary Gentle Thunder, and four-time GRAMMY Nominated pan-global percussionist Will Clipman, offer a musical landscape of improvisation, spirit and new world music. Known for their exquisite sensitivity, outrageous simpatico and inspiring presence, the 7/20 Twins, both born on July 20th, have a remarkable and charming connection that is, like the title of their GRAMMY nominated album, Beyond Words. Recorded with AmoChip Dabney, Beyond Words was recognized with a GRAMMY nomination in 2006 alongside artists Peter Kater, Enigma, Andres Vollenveider and Enya. The Wall Street Journals Jim Fusilli calls the music "direct and organic". Eric Alan, Jefferson Public Radio writes," Beyond Words beautifully transcends genre as well as words. Together, they create a gorgeous musical journey thats a sharing of deep spirit more than a mere performance. Its peaceful, uplifting and unique."
Very special guest will be a surprise!
