Space is limited so sign-up today! Classes take place at the Egyptian Theatre Studios across the street from The Egyptian Theatre. Final performances take place at Kingsbury Hall (University of Utah) on August 6 at 7pm.

Take the songwriting of Bill Withers and Tom Waits. Now combine that with the soul power and energy of James Brown. And the charisma of P.T. Barnum. Enter in the guitar playing of Leo Kotke and you’re starting to get an idea of what Samuel James is all about.

MICHAEL KELSEY cannot be limited to a simple description. When you listen to his music and see him perform live you’re watching a rhythmic, inspired guitarist and performance artist who brews soul, funk and even a little bit of the blues into a guitar festival of organic sound.

Michael Kelsey is holding an "expressing yourself through music" two-hour workshop that is open to all levels on Sunday August 1st. In the workshop Kelsey will demonstrate his unique guitar techniques and share ideas on songwriting.

Kelsey will also perform a free kid's show the night of August 1st geared towards fostering children's creativity. The show will be held from 4:00 to 4:45 PM and is recommended for children 12 and under.
