The West Bloomfield Public Library
4600 Walnut Lake Rd, West Bloomfield, MI

Harmony Bones EP Release House Concert

Join Harmony Bones as we celebrate the release of "A Breath Wide." This EP features three songs written by members of Harmony Bones, using Hosain Mosavat’s poems as lyrics and inspiration. Hosain’s wife Judy Mosavat will perform a few of her own poems. Harmony Bones is a sextet of Ann Arbor folk music veterans: Jeanne Mackey, Laz Slomovits (of Gemini), Tom Voiles, Linda Teaman and John Lloyd (of Nutshell), and Eric Fithian.

Hosain Mosavat (1936-2018) was a poet, photographer, drummer, music-maker, woodturner, teacher, cook, jokester, and lover of life. Born in Shiraz, Iran, Hosain was a generous, welcoming man who seemed “larger than life”. With his beloved wife Judy, he hosted many local community gatherings and creative collaborations. As Linda Teaman notes, “being Hosain’s friend meant you became part of his family.”

Admission is $10, EPs (CD format) are $10 each, but you can get both admission and an EP for $15! What a deal! Seating is limited, so please register in advance online.

Gemini at the Box Factory for the Arts

1101 Broad St., St. Joseph, MI

We’ll be doing our show for adults, consisting of our original songs, as well as classic songs of the 1960’s folk revival. For part of both sets of this concert we will be joined by a wonderful children’s choir called “All God’s Children Community Choir” and their their co-founding directors, Larry and Sandy Feldman. Comprised of a racially diverse group of boys and girls, ages three to eighteen, the choir was formed in 2001 with the goal of bridging the racial divide in the Benton Harbor - St. Joseph area. We have sung with “All God’s Children” a number of times in the last 18 years, and are honored to have them join us at this performance — both because of what they add to our concert musically, but also because of the hope for racial harmony which they represent.
