And coming up on the Groovacious radar ------------------------------
Saturday, October 15, 5:30PM: ANTIOQUIA is bringing their drum knowledge back to Cedar City, after playing and teaching at Groovefest American Music Festival this past June. They will be teaching drum rhythms from West Africa and Colombia. They have studied and lived in Guinea, West Africa and Colombia, South America and have performed heavily in the Bay Area and toured extensively for four years. They want to expose the beauty of these cultures through their music. No experience necessary! Bring a drum if you have one or one will be provided. Antioquia is playing at Mike's Tavern that night. See below. www.antioquia-band.net
Saturday, October 15, 9:00PM: The return of Groovefest act ANTIOQUIA at Mike’s Tavern at 90 W. Hoover in Cedar City! A drumming workshop is also in the works! Birthed in Colombia and bred in the San Francisco Bay Area, Oakland-based Antioquia makes music that inspires raucous dancing and deep listening. With influences ranging from Mahavishnu Orchestra to AfroColombian songstress Toto La Mompasina and traditional music from West Africa, Antioquia’s primary mission is to unite humans in the healing act of dance. Their earnest let-it-all-hang-out stage presence encourages the same from the audience, creating a feedback loop that builds momentum as standers-by are sucked into the dance floor. Peppered with fits of improvisation, bouts of silliness and fiery percussion pieces performed amidst the crowd, an Antioquia set is high energy, captivating, and anything but predictable. You can count on each show to bring the audience closer to the stage and closer together. Admission for this show is just $5.00 at the door the night of the show. www.antioquia-band.net
Saturday, October 15, 7:30PM: KIPP HOWARD “Story of Man” art showing, movie and music program in the Groovacious parking lot at 173 N. 100 W. in Cedar City. Call 435-867-9800 for more information. www.kippartexpo.com
