Billy Jonas - Everybody's in the Band!
February 27th - March 3rd, 2012
BILLY JONAS - EVERYBODY'S IN THE BAND!
Billy Jonas, an Asheville, NC-based musician will perform Music From Anything!, an interdisciplinary program in making music and musical instruments from found, foraged and recyclable objects. Sing-a-longs, bang-a-longs, and homemade instruments are just a few of Jonas's ideas to get the audience involved. Students will create their own instruments out of recyclable objects, write their own songs, and make their own music. The materials in the activities address state science teaching standards for grades one through eight.
For more than two decades, Billy Jonas has made a career out of creative and interactive performances for all ages. Jonas is a founding member of "The Billys," and is well known for his unique use of random objects to make music. He strives to allow every audience member to participate by discovering music with common items.
His CD "What Kind of Cat are You?!" received a First Place/Gold from American Federation of Independent Musicians and a Parent's Choice Gold. He has also been listed in a New York Times "Best" listing. Jonas has shared the stage with Richard Thompson, Patti Larkin, Ani DiFranco, David Wilcox, and Pete Seeger.
