The Global Roots Ensemble

eTown’s mission is to educate, entertain and inspire a diverse audience, through music and conversation, to create a socially responsible and environmentally sustainable world.eTown Hallis located in the heart of downtown Boulder, Colorado. A world-class performance venue, full service recording studio and community center, eTown Hall is also home to the famous eTown radio show. A non-profit organization since 1991, eTown has been committed to environmental education and “doing the right thing.” This building, converted from an old church facility, is quite possibly the greenest music and media center in Colorado!eTown Hall is unique – not another venue in the country like it. It’s recycled (a former church), rebuilt (a total renovation from the ground up), renovated (state of the art sound systems, recording studio) repurposed (a green building that makes its own solar power, has extremely efficient heating and cooling, used recycled and repurposed materials in the renovation) and reinvigorated (the community LOVES eTown Hall!) .eTown Hall Refund and Exchange Policy:eTown does not provide refunds or exchanges for any ticket purchases.

About The Global Roots Ensemble:The Global Roots Ensemble creates original music at the intersection of modal jazz, Indian ragas, swampy Delta blues, and melodic folk. Led by composer/percussionist Bobby Bringi, the band of like-minded artists share their distinct soundscape in storytelling concerts, inviting listeners on a journey that sparks the imagination and uplifts the spirit.The ensemble members' performance credits include Yoshi’s in San Francisco, Denver’s Dazzle Jazz Club, and the Detroit Institute of the Arts. International venues include Indonesia’s Bali Spirit Festival, Jazz Ascona in Switzerland, and the Delhi Rendezvous Festival in India.Bringi’s original works include: The Silk Road Caravanserai, a mythical musical rest stop where travelers like Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta share stories under a starlit night; Hymn for Broken Wings, an elegy for those trapped in conflicts and an homage to their courage; and Ode to Gaia, which celebrates the interconnectedness of everything on our precious planet.After the ensemble’s debut concert, recorded live at the Mighty Fine Studios in Denver, audience members had this to say: “What a transcendent musical feast…. We were buzzing from the experience for days!”; “My mind is blown, simply stunning”; and “Great music, great soul!”.Mumbai-born and now Boulder-based Bringi says, “In exploring music beyond borders, we create with audiences a collective joy, vitality, and freedom.” Global Roots Ensemble’s music dissolves barriers among genres and listeners, sparking new perspectives and drawing people closer together.The Ensemble features: Elden Kelly: musical director, fretted and fretless guitars Sheela Bringi: bamboo flute, harp, harmonium, and voice John Gunther: saxophones and woodwinds Bill McCrossen: acoustic/electric bass and West African stringed instruments Bobby Bringi: composer, storyteller, percussionist
