Last night the series was graced with Eastern Blok from Chicago, our only group to play on the 2007-2008 series from outside of Michigan. In addition to being fabulous musicians and composers all of the guys in the band are GOOD PEOPLE who really understand the importance of community and the importance of a grass roots project such as MAJIC.
Reb Roberts and Carmella Loftis from Sanctuary Folk Art Gallery, just around the corner from Bethlehem Church, had their art hanging in the narthex of the church. It was nice colorful mix that went well with the Balkan-folk-jazz-klezmer blend of music by Eastern Blok.
Andrew and I thew a huge party for everyone afterwards which brought a lot of Grand Rapids artists, musicians, tango dancers, and Bethlehem Church folks together. Don't forget to click on the photo album at the top right of the blog to look at the photos by David McGowan from the 2:00am jam session! (The Fantastic Merlins stopped by via Hugo Claudin)
