SUMMARY:Christopher Nelson “I Have My Ways: Teaching Stories”
DESCRIPTION:In “I Have My Ways: Teaching Stories”\, retired elementary school teacher Christopher Nelson shares some of the funny\, alarming\, and touching stories from his career as an educator. Sufian Zhemukhov joins with his guitar for a wonderful night of stories and music! \nTeller bios: \nChristopher Nelson- Drawing on my experiences as an educator\, I learned the power of a good story in the classroom. After retirement\, I found the American School of Storytelling\, attending open mic nights and classes. My narrative approach finds humor in small observations and meaning in ordinary lives. I try to balance softness and honesty that feels comforting and true. \nSufian Zhemukhov- an award-winning author and performer. Sufian’s solo shows have been featured off-Broadway and nationwide. NPR presented his show Flirting Like an American as “a show about romance\, culture\, and one immigrant’s story” and his show From Russia Without Love as “an escapist James Bond parody.” Sufian’s stories are based on his personal experience as a first-generation immigrant and political analyst\, which might be funnier than it sounds. He served as the 2023 Teller in Residence at the International Storytelling Center\, received the 2020 JJ Reneaux Emerging Artist Award from the National Storytelling Network\, and his research won the 2019 Best Book Award from the International Studies Association. \n

SUMMARY:Zola Rosenfeld & Carl Franzen "Summer Music"
DESCRIPTION:A warm\, intimate evening of original songwriting under the summer sky. Join us for two distinct voices: Zola Rosenfeld’s tender\, literate indie-folk and Carl Franzen’s wide‑ranging\, story-driven songs. \nMusician Bios: \nZola Rosenfeld- Born in San Francisco (c. 2000) and made in Minneapolis (c. 2021).  Zola’s indie sound resonates somewhere in the realm of acoustic Elliott Smith and Aimee Mann. Skating the dichotomous line of opacity and vulnerability\, her lyrics explore identity\, memory\, and biting self-reflection. A self-taught guitarist and songwriter\, her artistic roots trace back to an early love of Shakespeare\, short-story writing\, and classical voice training. Devoted caretaker of a geriatric cat. \nCarl Franzen- I’ve met many songwriters who understand the way a song is supposed to be structured\, or how to appear on stage\, or have vocal cords that can go full throttle night after night. I don’t compare very well on those terms. The advantage I have is that I don’t put myself in a box. I write about the world as I see it\, with a changing menu that changes my perspective. I’ve written songs about God\, the Boundary Waters\, the day the bridge came down\, an all-night-café waitress\, a speed skater\, small towns. the ICE invasion\, and the wondering if the Declaration of Independence is a break-up letter or a love letter. In other words\, a collection of poetic\, irreverent\, historical\, argumentative\, and hopefully memorable songs where the audience plays a vital role\, listening with heart and ears. \n  \n\nTo register: \n\nAdd the number of tickets you want by clicking the ‘+’ button\nClick the ‘Get Tickets’ button\nNote- After purchase\, tickets & receipt may arrive in your ‘Junk Mail’ folder
