Tin Drum Holiday Show

December 19

 

Buy Tickets $20

Meet Tin Drum, an ensemble of musicians bringing an invigorating freshness to contemporary music by exploring themes that fall outside of well-worn trends. The band’s nucleus is the husband-wife team of BURLEIGH DRUMMOND and MARY HARRIS. They are two veterans who continue to thrive with their current project as strong, experienced singing and song writing partners. Drummond was the founding drummer of progressive pop-rock group Ambrosia, a band that helped define the sound of popular music in the 1970s and 80s with a string of hits and five subsequent Grammy nominations. Drummond wears many musical hats now, playing drums, percussion, and acoustic guitar as well as providing vocals. Harris is a singer/songwriter who has honed her skills on the road and in the studio, working with the top acts of Pink Floyd, XTC, Stanley Clarke, and Jimmy Buffet. Now she provides the voice of Tin Drum and plays keyboard in the band. Enhancing the ensemble are JOHN DAVIS on bass/vocals and MARC BONILLA on guitar, mandolin, and vocals, musicians who embrace and help to further define Tin Drum’s musical philosophy.

This Southern California based band has released three CDs: Real World (1995), Small Parade (2001) and Where Have You Been? (2009). Each Album captures the musical passions of the group with their intimate and personal style. A deeper exploration reveals rich, complex arrangements and a mature look at the world that is revealed through lyrics that reflect both the ethereal content of dreams and the concrete issues of everyday living. Each individual track stands alone as an example of a gifted composition as well as a compelling layer of a greater musical structure. http://www.tindrummusic.com

Adult Literacy Class

January 1 Ongoing


More than 30 million adults in the United States cannot read, write, or do basic math above a third-grade level. — ProLiteracy

Children whose parents have low literacy levels have a 72 percent chance of being at the lowest reading levels themselves. These children are more likely to get poor grades, display behavioral problems, have high absentee rates, repeat school years, or drop out. — National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)

75 percent of state prison inmates did not complete high school or can be classified as low literate. — Rand Report: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Correctional Education

Low literacy is said to be connected to over $230 billion a year in health care costs because almost half of Americans cannot read well enough to comprehend health information, incurring higher costs. — American Journal of Public Health
