SUMMARY:Pt. Richmond\, CANatural Rhythms
DESCRIPTION:NATURAL RHYTHMS:Elise Witt\, Becky Reardon\, Terry Garthwaite \nConcert w/Terry Garthwaite & Becky Reardon\, Elise Witt\n8pm @ historic First United Methodist Church\n\n\nElise Witt\, Terry Garthwaite\nand Becky Reardon\n\n\nImagine Janis Joplin\, Joan Baez\, Annie Ross and Edith Piaf taking a turn from Barbara Kingsolver and Dr. Seuss and you’ll have some idea of these mad and moving musical adventures! \nWhether it’s a polyrhythmic improvisation on the physics of sound\, a playful musing on the simple life of an amoeba\, an anthem to the wild rivers\, or a musical ride on the happiness train\, Terry\, Becky & Elise cook from the minute they hit the stage. Bringing three uniquely different voices to the blend\, their harmonies spread a web of joy and the delight of singing together. The threesome’s concerts are also famous for getting the audience singing\, and even self-professed “non-singers” find themselves part of a glorious choir. \n~ Singing Circle Workshop ~\nSinging together will take us deeply into the experience of being held and lifted by the sound of our voices making music together. We will be singing songs of celebration\, ceremony and community\, songs celebrating the earth and our own spirit and creativity\, songs of healing and passage\, songs of playfulness and joy. We will explore our wildly versatile voices in the rainbow of colors available to us individually and as an ensemble. \nEach member of the Trio brings her specialty to the circle. Drawing from her love of diverse melodies and rhythms\, Elise might introduce a Brazilian samba\, a Congolese storysong\, an Italian round\, or four-part harmonies from Zimbabwe. Becky’s connection to nature and jazz brings us to listening deeply to our own voice and each other\, as we experience the being-in-the moment of easy improvisational games. Deeply rooted in rhythm\, Terry introduces songs and games interweaving and interlocking us in vocal percussion. There are also lots of Terry/Becky/Elise originals\, plus songs from the African American tradition\, quirky rounds\, food songs\, and lots more! \nAll of the songs are broken down into easily learnable parts and become thrilling to sing in a group. Even people who think they “can’t carry a tune in a bucket” in no time find themselves part of a glorious choir. Music reading is not a prerequisite. \n\n@ Lama Foundation\, Taos NM\n“This may be the most unusual and musically exciting concert we have presented in our 11 years of 178 concerts!”  ~ Jack Sartain\, Producer\, Music for Missions Concert Series\, Tucker GA \n“You were simply awesome and\, as one customer put it\, it was pure magic and the best show she’s ever seen!”  ~ Merle Dollar\, Proprietor\, Local Color\, Springville AL \n“Their voices are each unique in color and timbre\, yet when combined\, create a beautiful unified sound that melts the audience and carries them home.  ~ Donald Milton\, Director of Music\, Unitarian Universalist Congregation of  Atlanta\, Atlanta GA \n“’Supergroups’ don’t always gel together onstage\, but this one sure does. Terry Garthwaite is a walking masterclass in blues and rock vocalise\, Becky Reardon’s songs\, voice\, and acoustic guitar reveal jazz roots\, and Elise Witt’s deep appreciation for and fluency in international folk musics open up the entire world in a single voice – and everyone is made welcome to sing along. Each performer seems to be completely at ease in the intimacy of a house concert or the formality of a large stage\, and everyone involved is reminded that rhythm is what makes music move. What should we call this wonderful\, unpredictable amalgam of talent and sound? How about ‘American music’?”  ~ Andy Ditzler\, Frequent Small Meals Concert Series \nTERRY GARTHWAITE\n“Liquid rhythms and vibrant vocals… musically intriguing and vocally intense..\, .”  — amazon.com \n“Her simply-phrased\, foot-tapping songs are positively infectious.”  — Napra Review \nWith a voice both “sassy and touching\,” Terry Garthwaite is an internationally known singer\, songwriter\, composer\, producer\, and teacher. Her recording career dates back to the late 1960s when she and Toni Brown formed the acclaimed rock group Joy of Cooking. She recorded several albums with the band\, and then a dozen others by herself or in collaboration with other jazz and blues musicians. Terry has also produced recordings by other artists including Jasmine\, Rosalie Sorrels\, Rhiannon\, Hunter Davis\, Elise Witt\, Robin Flower\, and Ferron\, whose Garthwaite-produced Shadows on a Dime was awarded four stars by Rolling Stone. \nIn performance\, she has shared the stage with such artists as BB King\, Janis Joplin\, Bonnie Raitt\, The Band\, Allen Ginsberg\, Santana\, Rosalie Sorrels and writer Bobbie Hawkins at venues that include Carnegie Hall\, the Joseph Papp Theater\, the Hollywood Bowl\, and Canadian Folk Festivals. \nTerry’s recent recordings reflect an awareness of the healing nature of music. Critically acclaimed Affirhythms and Sacred Circlesinclude chantsongs\, polyrhythmic puzzles\, and songs of hope and heart. And her 2017 release Shine On encourages empowerment and delight\, and includes some of her best songs yet. She currently leads vocal retreats\, drum circles\, and classes in singing together\, playing with sound\, and digging the musical garden. \nBECKY REARDON\n “Becky Reardon\, my favorite singer!”  — Charles Schulz\, creator of Peanuts \n “Becky’s songs elevate us spiritually and musically\, and are as beautiful to listen to as they are to sing.”  — Kate Munger\, Founder\, Threshold Choirs \n“I’ll be singing your rounds and teaching them to choruses for the rest of my life.  — Dan Inglis\, Hampshire College \n“Speaking of simple beauty\, I commend you to Becky Reardon’s CDs.”  — Richard Leiter\, Keyboard Magazine \nBecky Reardon’s voice is familiar to the millions of people who heard her singing on the Charlie Brown TV specials. Her songs are sung in song circles across the US and the UK\, and are treasured for their ability to move singers and listeners to ancient places of pleasure and healing. \nBecky teaches and performs nationwide including singing her songs about the stars and moon to the NASA-sponsored Chaco Educators Institute in Astronomy. In her Joy of Singing Harmony Classes\, she cultivates the use of improvised singing and movement to illuminate and resolve conflict. Her songs and rounds are collected in five CDs and books: Shift\, Follow the Motion\, Songs for a Walk\, Inside the Outside\, and Natural Rhythms\, with Terry Garthwaite and special guest Elise Witt. \nELISE WITT\n“A performer to remember with international savvy & personal charm”  — The Kennedy Center \n “A really delightful concert from the honey voiced Atlanta songwriter \nwho sings the world.”  — Lincoln Center Out of Doors Festival \n“Elise is a state treasure and we are so proud to be able to support her work.”  — Chair\, Georgia Council for the Arts \n“Wide horizons and a repertoire that borrows from many countries \nwith a spirit of universal humanism”  — Le Cri Du Coyote\, France \nSinger\, Composer\, Musical Ambassador\, Community Activist\, Elise Witt was born in Switzerland\, raised in North Carolina\, and since 1977 has made her home in Atlanta.

Drawing from her love of diverse melodies and rhythms\, Elise might introduce a Brazilian samba\, a Congolese storysong\, an Italian round\, or four-part harmonies from Zimbabwe. There are also lots of songs in English\, including songs from the African American tradition\, quirky rounds\, food songs\, Elise originals\, and lots more! \nAll of the songs are broken down into easily learnable parts and become thrilling to sing in a group. Even people who think they “can’t carry a tune in a bucket” in no time find themselves part of an impromptu glorious chorus. \nSingers of all levels of experience are welcome.\nMusic reading is not a prerequisite.\nEarly Registration Discount: $60 paid by Nov. 5\n$70 after Nov. 5\nSend check to: EMWorld Records\, PO Box 148\, Pine Lake GA 30072\n Click to Register Online
