Bioneers is delighted to be able to present a uniquely diverse musical showcase of two extraordinary performers. Opening this remarkable double-bill is Garth Stevenson, a renowned musician, composer and eco-activist who has appeared on some 50 albums, collaborated with leading musicians from all over the globe, and counts among his mentors the legendary biologist Roger Payne, the first to record humpback whales in the 1960s. Garth has played his double bass not only for people around the world but also among seals, penguins, icebergs, and in the bow of small boats where he imitates whale calls on his bass. He will perform music based on those extraordinary interspecies exchanges accompanied by stunning video footage.

The closer will be Berkeley’s own powerfully soulful, deeply original and inventive, genre-defying vocalist and improviser, Destani Wolf, who has appeared on over 40 albums including 3 that were GRAMMY-nominated, been a lead vocalist for Cirque du Soleil, and is a Professor at SF Music Conservatory and a member of Bobby McFerrin’s MOTION.

Note: This event is not included in the conference registration, so Bioneers attendees must register separately for it.

Doors are at 7:45 pm, show starts at 8:15 pm.
