Event
Buffy Sainte-Marie and Special Guests
Call resistance an act of love, name activism as belief in restoration, trust as resilience, music as medicine; there is alchemy in the work of Buffy Sainte-Marie. Utilizing a generous body of work spanning half a century, Buffy Sainte-Marie reminds us that the truest wealth we can accumulate is in community, story, connection and truth. Through word and song she moves us to look our own reflections in the eye and raise our voices to meet this mission. Bending her voice to the ear of the people, as always, Buffy Sainte-Marie and guests Ronnie Dean Harris, Mitcholos Touchie, and anusáyum, call out to our beating hearts. Will we gather together in this work? We are the ones who must decide.
This is an all ages show. General seating with standing room at back of Hall.
7 pm Doors / 8 pm Show / $30 Advance / $35 At Door. Box office is Cash only.
Advance tickets can be picked up at Will Call when Doors open.
This event is a scent-reduced space. To assist us in our goal of increased access, please be aware of our attempt to reduce the impact of personal scented products (perfumes, scented oils, etc) in our festival spaces.
