Sacred Grounds Coffee and Tea House invite you to a wonderful evening with Jonathan Maracle, one of the world’s most accomplished Indigenous flute players, traditional drummer and singer on Friday, February 17, 2023, at 7:00 pm. There is no cover charge, but donations are appreciated.
Jonathan Maracle is a Mohawk/Scot from Ontario, Canada, and resides in Tendinaga Mohawk Territory with his wife and four children. As the visionary and founder of Broken Walls (an internationally recognized Indigenous musical group), Jonathan has traveled the world for the past 26 years.
The vision of Broken Walls is to see people from cultural minorities restored and able to walk in their true destiny, realizing and sharing their unique gifts and abilities with the world around them. Broken Walls targets major issues such as social struggles and suicide prevention through music and presentations.
Jonathan’s solo concert will feature many of the songs that Broken Walls perform, along with some of his recently written pieces from their new CD, “The Call of the Drum”. Along with playing and singing, Jonathan engages his audience with contextually spiritual conversation and explains why the drum, dance, and cultural expression are so important.
The concert is being fully funded by Mountain Entertainment Group for the Arts/MEGA nonprofit, along with private donations. It is MEGA’S mission to bring more of these unique professional performances to our area.
The concert is free, but donations toward MEGA will be appreciated and are tax-deductible.
