The main presenter will be Billy Jonas, known internationally for highly engaging and energetic performances. Impossible
to categorize, Jonas combines influences from folk, jazz, nonwestern traditions and
one-of-a-kind sources, including the audience's imagination! With a focus on his
brilliant song writing and creative percussion, Jonas' concerts for adults and families
have entertained across the continent. His six CDs and two DVDs have garnered a bevy
of honors and critical acclaim, including a New York Times "Best" listing, a First
Place Gold from American Federation of Independent Musicians, and multiple Parent's
Choice Gold Awards. His latest CD "Happy Accidents" received a USA Today "10 Best
of 2009" award. In April 2010, Billy and the Band were invited to play at the White
House!
"He engages the audience with a wild assortment of rhythm and word play that usually leaves them both entertained, and a little more in touch with their spiritual selves. He teaches, through experience, that music is everywhere." - Sing Out! Magazine
"Billy Jonas' talent, wit and obvious love for children and learning make him and his music irresistible. Whenever I see him perform, my face hurts from smiling." - Alison Krauss
