Can you host our guest musicians Sept. 21-23?
The performers of WORD-BEAT, Tom Teasley and Charles Williams, are looking for a place to stay Friday and Saturday night, Sept. 21 and 22.
Word-Beat combines the artistry of singer / actor Charles Williams and global-jazz percussionist Tom Teasley in programs featuring the inspirational texts of such authors as Langston Hughes and Nelson Mandela as well as African folk songs. All are accompanied by inventive percussive rhythms and melodies. The duo has performed their critically acclaimed melding of music and voice at prestigious venues and before academic audiences in the U.S. and Europe. Williams and Teasley achieve a true marriage of ancient melody and future sounds, of Africa, the West and beyond. They have recently added a program featuring the 12th century mystic poet Rumi accompanied by Tom’s original music and inspired by Middle Eastern cultures. Timeless world rhythms evoked by Teasley’s masterful blend of ethnic percussion and cutting-edge electronics underscore traditional verse delivered in spirited performance art mode by Williams. The two artists, each successful in their own right, are both are dedicated educators presenting concerts and clinics throughout the world.
