Teasley's performance lets listeners enjoy original music that combines world instruments and rhythms in ways most people have never experienced before. Described in the Washington Post as "the evening's dazzler," her maintains a unique career as a solo percussionist, collaborator and composer, touring the world, performing and presenting clinics for the instrument companies he endorses including Yamaha, Remo and others. Teasley has 7 albums which are aired internationally as well. Borrowing from every corner of the globe, Tom's performances constantly open new ways to hear and explore innovative ideas based on familiar sounds. By introducing new instruments and techniques into well-known traditions, he builds a bridge leading listeners out of the usual concert hall experience into exceptional new territory. His performances fuse sounds from the ancient past with the energy of jazz, funk, and modern music. The Middle Eastern doumbek, African djembé and balafon, Peru’s cajón, Ireland's bodhrán, Brazil's pandeiro and Egypt's riq combine with the modern synthesizer, looper and other electronics. By remixing even the most distant traditions with today’s jazz, funk and progressive sounds, listeners experience a creative chain reaction when diverse voices interact, and discover the immense wealth of musical ideas from every time and place around the world. 5pm - Tom Teasley will lead a FREE, hands-on percussion workshop.
