Behind the Music
with Jastin Artis

Note: there are no shows on Thurs., July 6
Discovery Theater, Ripley Center
Recommended for Ages 7 to 16 (Grade 2 and up)

Once Upon a MoonJoin multi-skilled musical artist, entrepreneur, and teacher Jastin Artis as he reveals the magic, fun, and power of music-making. Enjoy selections of his original music that fuses hip-hop, spoken word, gospel, and other styles. Then, together with Jastin, explore the anatomy of a song and the artistry and skills that transform a musical inspiration into an onstage reality. You’ll leave with your creative juices flowing! 

This show will be a mix of performance and candid conversations about creating and following your dreams; great for music camps, leadership camps, and entrepreneur camps. After the show, students will take home a QR code that links to a webpage created just for them!  Here, they can access a playlist of music from the show, watch Jastin’s videos,  leave a message or question for Jastin, or share a song/verse/poem that they were inspired to write after seeing the performance!
