An Incus performance is a gathering of people who come together to live and breathe the fullness of being alive. With the ability to get crowds sweating in their dance and singing from their hearts, the band is equally at home onstage, plugged in or acoustic, in cathedrals with choirs, or at festivals around the country. They have gained appreciative followings from these diverse settings. On this night the group will be focusing on an ecstatic, psychedelic, experimental set with world, reggae and dub overtones.

Kohenet Elana Brody is an ordained Hebrew priestess, musician and song leader. Elana offers healing Jewish prayer services across the country, and hosts song circles and transformational singing retreats, such as SING A NEW SONG: a New Year’s retreat in the Catskills with master song catcher Samara Jade (shameless plug! It’s so fun, please come!). Elana spent four years as a Massachusettsan while attending Berklee College of Music, and she continues to perform and record as a songwriter and studio musician. Last September, Elana released her debut folk album The Garden. Susan Rogers, engineer for Prince, said of Elana "Whatever she does will be ahead of its time." When not on the road, Elana currently lives and offers embodied musical prayer gatherings in Boulder, CO

DJ Brando offers heart opening soulful soundscapes that seamlessly weave music styles & cultures. A global tapestry of beats, bumps, & baselines that penetrate to the marrow of your bones, invoking your soul to dance.

Martin Bridge is a gifted visionary artist whose imagery informs and inspires viewers. His live-painting performances stimulate audiences at festivals around the world. Artist, educator, mycologist, and avid student of permaculture, Martin models an integral creative life that reflects the ideals of a new world paradigm celebrating the sacred intelligence of nature.
