United by Music

(Memphis, TN) – Join United by Music North America (UBMNA) Thursday, February 2, starting at 11am at Club 152 – First Floor, 152 Beale Street, Memphis, Tennessee during International Blues Challenge (IBC) week. UBMNA mentors, Kenny Neal, John Nemeth, Doug MacLeod, Ben Rice and more join The United by Music North America Band featuring special guest artists, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and Marlana Vanhoose.

Imagine a world without prejudice based upon race, creed, color …or intellectual capacity. That is the world envisioned by United by Music North America and their growing base of supporters, where they have turned to the power of music to bring people together. Lunchtime LIVE! Join Amanda Gresham, Barbara Hammerman and the United by Music North America Band for an entertaining, interactive performance workshop showcasing the extraordinary skills of these multi-talented musicians of the United By Music North America Band!

United by Music North America is a performance-based program for musically talented, neuro-diverse Artists, mentored by professional musicians and performing together as a band for general audiences. Our UBMNA Artists will share stories about their lives being transformed, the joy of having friends, and transcending their daily challenges in this program. Audiences, Volunteers, Mentors, and anyone who experiences UBMNA discovers a new perspective for people with developmental delays such as Autism, Aspergers and Williams Syndrome, realizing how we are more alike than different.

Embracing this program can bring blues education and performance opportunities to the musically talented, differently-abled Artists in your community. “This could be a wonderful program for your affiliated society to offer in your blues region,” says Blues Foundation President and CEO, Barbara Newman.

An IBC Pass is required for entry to this event. See the Blues Foundation website for information on passes.
