ahlay Blakely Song Tour
Thursday, June 26, 6:30 – 9:00 pm
ahlay (of Scandinavian, Ashkenazi, and British Isles ancestry, living on Coast Salish Lands) carries a repertoire of collective, participatory songs taught in the oral tradition. In this process, ahlay sings a line, and the group responds, echoing it back until the song lives in our bodies and we can sing it together, over and over. These songs are simple, often brief—designed for connection, for ease, for being in it together. More often than not, it’s an a cappella experience, touched by drumming and, occasionally, other instruments.
Event lasts 2 hours 30 minutes
Tickets:
Sliding scale from $22–$66*** (all sales 100% final) w/limited “pay what you can” tickets.
Registration and ticket sales are handled directly through Healing at the Roots at: https://www.eventcreate.com/e/annarbor26
