SUMMARY:David Huckfelt & Keith Secola
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\n\nDavid Huckfelt is a singer/ lyricist /activist and founding frontman of Minneapolis indie-folk cult favorites The Pines. An Iowa native and former theology student\, Huckfelt attended the Iowa Writers Workshop before turning his attention to songwriting and performing. With improvisational mastery\, Huckfelt’s shows and songs of no-spiritual-surrender have earned him a devoted following from small-town opera houses & theaters to national festival stages like Hardly Strictly Bluegrass\, Edmonton and Calgary Folk Fests\, and the legendary First Avenue mainroom\, sharing stages with Mavis Staples\, Emmylou Harris\, Bon Iver\, Calexico\, Trampled By Turtles & more. An early encounter and collaboration with radical Native American poet John Trudell introduced Huckfelt as friend & partner to an array of Indigenous artists & activists including Winona LaDuke\, Louise Erdrich\, & Keith Secola\, working for climate justice and tribal sovereignty under the banner of music + resistance. With roots in the same fertile Midwestern soil that produced legendary folk singers like John Prine and Greg Brown\, David’s new solo work preserves a rugged optimism that blasts through layers of dark in real time with songs that speak volumes\, soft & clear. \nKeith Secola is an icon and ambassador of Native music. He is one of the most influential artists in the field today. Rising from the grassroots of North America\, he is a songwriter of the people. Critics have dubbed him as the Native versions of both Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen. NDN Kars (Indian cars)\, his most popular song is considered the contemporary Native American anthem\, achieving legendary status and earning him a well deserved cult following. It has been the number one requested song on tribal radio since the 1992. In 2011\, he joined the ranks of Jimmy Hendrix\, Hank Williams\, Crystal Gale\, and Richie Valens\, and was inducted into the Native Music Hall of Fame. \nBorn in 1957 in Cook\, Minnesota\, Secola is affiliated with the Anishinabe tribe. He graduated from Mesabi Community College with a degree in Public Service in 1979\, and completed a BA in American Indian Studies at the University of Minnesota in 1982. He is married and has two children. \nSecola is an accomplished artist\, garnering awards and accolades as a musician\, a singer\, a songwriter\, a composer and a producer. He is highly skilled with the guitar\, flute\, mandolin\, banjo\, harmonica\, and piano\, and has played in venues from the halls of the Chicago Urban Indian Centre\, to the walls of the bottom of the Grand Canyon. He has also performed at the Olympic Games in Atlanta 1996 and Salt Lake City 2002\, and toured Europe several times. Among his numerous appearances he has graced the stages of the Rockslide Festival in Denmark\, the Grand Opening Gala of the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian\, The Kennedy Center and the SXSW in Austin\, TX\, and is a staple at the Grassroots Festival in Upstate New York\, North Carolina and Florida. \nA seven-time Native American Music Award winner\, Secola has earned NAMMYs not only for his music\, but also his abilities as a producer\, to include The Best Linguistic Recording for producing ANISHINABEMOIN (2007). A well respected musician\, he has worked with music legends such as Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead. Secola has also teamed with academics like author Dr. Tom Venum of the Smithsonian Folklife Institute\, collaborating on the CD\, AMERICAN WARRIORS: SONGS FOR INDIAN VETERANS\, and with elders such as Karen Drift\, a speaker of Anishenabemoin. \n\n  \n\n\nSave 10% with membership!

SUMMARY:EVER PRESENT: Guillermo Galindo & José Luis Sotero Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:5:00 – 6:00pm Members Preview\n6:00pm Artists’ Talk\n6:00 – 8:00pm Public Reception \nEVER PRESENT: Guillermo Galindo & José Luis Sotero presents two Mexican artists whose work reflects upon their experiences of migration. Guillermo Galindo (San Francisco\, CA)\, an acclaimed Mexican-born artist and U.S. citizen\, composer\, and performer\, shares his newest project Sonic Biogenesis\, an installation commenting on genetics\, mobility\, and the environment. José Luis Sotero (Nogales\, Sonora\, MX)\, a self-taught Mexican painter\, presents his recent paintings El lado oscuro de la migracion (the dark side of migration) using pictorial surrealism to depict the stories of people who seek refuge from violence and poverty in hope of a better life. While both artists have long worked with themes of migration\, their work reflects distinctly different perspectives and expressions. This exhibition is mindful of the important role of immigration at the center of the American experience\, and current conversations on immigration taking place in the U.S.\, with increased awareness in border states such as Arizona.
