Atlanta’s Elise Witt and Brooklyn’s Jascha Hoffman meet in the music for an unusual collaborative house concert. Elise brings her multi-lingual songs of bees, bones, amoebas, gardens & justice to interlace with Jascha’s eccentric songs about shipwrecks, insomnia, euthanasia & alien abduction.

Inspired by their work with master vocal improvisor Rhiannon, Jascha and Elise believe that there is music in each of us waiting to be unleashed. Both lead community song circles at home and abroad, and love nothing more than to help a roomful of friends & strangers find fresh music in the air between us.
