There will be one performance on Saturday, Aug. 24 at 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
KEL MOCKINGBIRD
Experience the center of the universe and discover the harmony within. Kel Mockingbird is of the Dineh Nation and comes from a small town called Pinon Arizona where he listened much to the wind and spoke to the stars.
Kel has been performing the Native American Flute and telling Medicine Stories of the Dineh for the past 34 years recording 6 albums as Burning Sky. Nominated in 2003 for Best Native American Album, he came home home with several awards from the Native American Music Awards as well as the Flagstaff Music Awards. Kel performed at the 1996 Clinton Presidential Inaugural Ball, the 1996 Olympics and 1998 Jackson Brown’s Verde Valley Festival. He received a Grammy Nomination for Best Native American Album. His albums and recordings include Burning Sky, Blood of the Land, Creation, Enter the Earth, Spirits In the Wind, A Simple Man, Nil chi-Spirit Wind, Moons of Meditation and Sacred Fire.
“I have music of the past 33 years available …. May the Creator cradle us and breathe beauty into us all. In Beauty, we walk,” says Kel Mockingbird. “Alone we are a single note lingering in the universe but united we are a song echoing throughout the cosmos.”
RENICK
Renick is a classically trained pianist and composer whose musical journey transcends terrestrial bounds. While piano remains his first love, he dedicated years to studying sitar and classical Indian music under the revered Maestro Ali Akbar Khan. This deep dive into the cosmic vibrations of Indian classical music has profoundly influenced his artistic path. Renick’s musical and spiritual explorations imbue his music with a transcendental quality that dissolves boundaries between genre and expression. He views music as a universal language that connects the earthly with the celestial, infusing his playing with a frequency that transports listeners to otherworldly realms. His devotion to music as a path and practice is akin to a cosmic pilgrimage, where every note resonates with the vibrations of the universe.
Kel Mockingbird and Renick will perform live on Saturday, Aug. 24 at 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre. Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. All tickets include a meet-and-greet with Kel Mockingbird and Renick in the lobby after the show.
