---------------------FROM SUSAN
Thank you all - so much - for agreeing to help me celebrate this milestone in my life! I am so excited to share this special evening with you and to enjoy a concert of beautiful music with a wonderful musician.

In lieu of gifts, I am asking each adult to purchase a ticket for $20. Please feel free to bring a guest or two or three! I want to have the biggest, best celebration of the first 40 years of my life as possible! I want people from all the journeys I've been on to surround me and enjoy this wonderful music. I can't wait to celebrate with you! There will be an opportunity to purchase Bob's CDs after the concert, so please bring cash or credit cards if you want.

I first was introduced to Bob Sima's music two years ago, and have had the pleasure of hearing him twice now. You can find out more on Bob's website (www.bobsima.com), but I want to share these descriptions with you...
"... His soul-stirring performances straddle the worlds of folk, kirtan, soul, and gospel as he navigates audiences deeply on a journey, both individually and as a collective. Flowing with the unique energy at each event and rarely making a set-list, he is a master at going from foot-stomp to pin-drop. He guides audiences into a space for things epiphanies, light bulbs coming on, shifts to happen. His performances invite a visceral embodiment of the music and message in a wide-open space of possibilitiesComparisons are often made of Sima's performances to the magical group-sing, experiential connections of the late Pete Seeger. It is a gift when an artist can connect with his audience; it is exceedingly rare when a performer connects the audience with each other. When Sima opens his mouth to sing, what emerges is far beyond the human sounds of his warm and soulful voice. It's a call, a remembrance, a soft and steady place to land. He speaks the language of the Universe, the language of the soul, the language of the heart. But he's not just singing to his audience and it's not just a performance. It's a gathering, a connection... "

Who is Bob Sima?

Bob is a nationally touring and award-winning singer-songwriter based in Annapolis MD. When Bob Sima (pronounced sEYE-ma) opens his mouth to sing what comes out is far beyond the human sounds of a warm and soulful voice. Beyond the songs, beyond the voice, beyond the stories. Yes...there's more. A lesson, a nudge, a reminder, of the simple splendor of this place and these experiences we all share. Bob has been called "Eckhart Tolle with a guitar" and his music truly heals and expands the heart. What draws you in is his ability to share these insights in a way that grabs your listening ear, inspires your beating heart, awakens your inner spirit, and transforms your most intimate desires. He is a poet, observer, scribe, and healer - all divinely bundled as a singing, songwriting transformative energy. His gift of music is a magnifying glass to the soul, each song sincere and worth repeating for a lifetime. Bob truly moves his audiences - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Part of Bob's music mission states the following: "Each and every song I channel begins as my personal conversation with Source delivered as life lessons of spiritual growth and transformation. Just as these conversations birth expansion, awakening, and remembrance in me, I share my gift to soften the hardest of hearts, widen the narrowest of smiles, loosen the tightest of grips, lighten the heaviest of loads, and thin the thickest of walls of as many souls as I can possibly reach." Bob Sima has a stage presence that will lead a conversation in music, rather than simply singing at his audience. It is empowering, fun, and completely amazing to see him up close in a house setting. Prepare yourself for some great music and a truly unforgettable evening.
