Jesse & James in performance this Sunday June 22 in Boulder

[James Hoskins]

Hi all,

Jesse Manno and James Hoskins of Sherefe, as well as drummer/composer Tober Schorr will be playing original music scores for three modern dance pieces this Sunday at the Municipal Bandshell in downtown Boulder.

This should be a gorgeous and fun event in support of the Mariposa dance collective. There will be activities and a silent auction from 5 pm on.

We will also be playing for a participatory guided improv dance class at 7:00 pm, with the choreographed dance pieces following immediately afterwards at about 7:30pm.

See you there! — James
