Starwater & Sol
Sonic Travelers
United by a deep connection through sound, Bodhi Starwater and Christopher Sol create immersive, transformational journeys that transcend boundaries and take the listener into a deep and relaxing healing space. Their work weaves primordial acoustic instruments and ethereal soundscapes into a natural tapestry that bridges earth and sky.
With over 40 years as a sound healer and musician, Bodhi draws from ancient South American traditions and formal music training. His mastery of diverse instruments, combined with his intuitive artistry, creates deep, transformative resonance that reaches the soul.
Drawing on over a decade of experience of sound healing, Christopher channels the primal power of the didgeridoo, rhythmic instruments and radiant harmonics of the handpan, grounding listeners in the earth’s pulse while lifting them toward the spiritual plane.
Together they merge ancient tones, modern frequencies, and intuitive wisdom. Their music is not performance but invocation—a mythic remembering.

We're part of Porch Fest this year!
Unlike the Aug 1 city-wide house shows, on Aug 2 we’re trying to contain the festival to the Whiteaker (with a one-off porch here and there).
Bring cash to tip at each show you visit (doesn’t have to be spent all in one place, but it would be muy considerate if in all at least $15+ is contribute per person (which goes entirely to the artists).
Bring snacks/drinks, lawn chairs/blankets, AND YOUR INSTRUMENT (as we will have jam spots/song circles setup throughout the neighborhoods for you free-flyin unscheduled folk).
We’re looking for chalk boards/white boards to announce lineups in front of houses, so let us know if you got one to lend!
Cowboys? Aliens? Why not both!
Yee haw! Welcome to this western sci-fi drag show that will leave you feeling out of this world!
This show is a surgery care fundraiser for the host, Drake Demonwing's brother Zachary, who is suffering from a rare condition called MALS (Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome) which has caused him chronic abdominal pain for over a decade. There are only two surgeons in the USA that can perform surgery to improve his quality of life, and this event will help fundraise for his essential care.
There will also be a raffle for prizes that include art by Kira Maddox (insta: kirax.art), a gift certificate for three hours of beginner horse riding lessons from Theresa Bleisch (AKA: Mama Drake), and more with %100 of the proceeds going towards Zach's expensive treatment.
People are used to cowboys, but it's easy to forget the universe is full of things we don't know. (Such as rare medical conditions!)
So come on over to this wild show, and watch out for flying saucers on your way here!
Tickets are $15. You must be 21+ to attend.
Hosted by: Drake Demonwing
Performers:
Luke N. Good
Monty Moonlight

Book Club! How to Do Nothing, Resisting the Attention Economy by Jenny Odell
A critique on capitalism and the commercialization of our time, as well as a call to the importance of third spaces (like public parks and libraries).
While the title may seem misleading, Jenny Odell encourages us to increase our intentionality to attention through slowing down and reconnecting with the natural world around us (bioregionalism). While this book can feel dense, it is rich with philosophical and artistic references to support bringing to our attention the vital importance of both time and space to reflect and contemplate.
Together, in community, we will explore how Odell’s writing speaks to us and continue the conversation on how we work toward what we want to create in this world.
90 minute sessions will include 20 minute somatic grounding practice, around 45 minutes of discussion and a 10 minute closing practice.
Session 1: Introduction - Chapter 2
Session 2: Chapters 3 & 4
Session 3: Chapters 5, 6 & conclusion
Hosted by Lila Floyd: artist & lover of philosophy
Sliding Scale: $30-75
Ticket includes coupon for 25% off book at Outliers!
Sundays 10:00am-11:30am
