What do you get when Irish music meets the music of an African-American string band? A musical mash-up from two continents that call themselves High Roads and Railroads!
The Music Center inaugurates FLASHFEST at Grand Park, 210 North Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles, on Sunday, November 4, 2012 with Ireland’s Téada and African-American string band, The Ebony Hillbillies, perform at L.A.’s newest green space. Performers will offer workshops – visual arts and dance – for your learning pleasure. And it’s all free! (If you want to make your own washboard, join Angela Lloyd’s workshop by registering.)
FLASHFEST is a new pop-up arts happening that explores all art forms in myriad ways with appeal to all ages and interests. Each event will turn on a particular theme, which will be up for a short time and then disappear until the next FLASHFEST. Food trucks and craft beer tastings available for purchase. Get comfortable and bring your lawn chairs and blankets to lounge on!
