SUMMARY:Book Binding Workshop
DESCRIPTION:iscover the centuries-old craft of bookbinding in this hands-on workshop. Students will learn to construct their own blank hardcover books from scratch — measuring\, cutting\, and folding\, sewing bindings by hand\, and creating cases finished in your choice of leather or cloth. You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind journal\, sketchbook\, or keepsake album built entirely by your own hands. \nIn addition to building books from the ground up\, students can learn the rebinding technique of casing in — giving a beloved but worn paperback a brand-new\, durable hardcover. This is a wonderful way to give new life to a favorite novel\, an out-of-print title\, or a book with sentimental value. \nNo prior bookbinding experience is necessary. All materials and tools will be provided\, and students will leave with tangible\, functional pieces they made themselves.

SUMMARY:Annapolis Jazz & Roots Festival - Akua Allrich: Tribute to Miriam Makeba & Nina Simone
DESCRIPTION:Jazz vocalist Akua Allrich is a musician of extraordinary talent and crowd-moving passion. The charismatic vocalist\, composer\, and teacher has etched out a place for her unique musical expression\, electrifying audiences in and around the nation’s capital and far beyond\, through live performances and four major recordings. \nHer 2010 independent release\, A Peace of Mine\, created significant buzz with critics and music lovers\, earned international attention and won distribution through a Japanese record label one year later. Uniquely Standard: Akua Allrich Live! was released in 2012\, followed by Soul Singer in 2015. In March of 2026 she released Bonya. The live recording is a deeply personal tribute to her father’s legacy and reflects her Pan- African approach to musical expression. \nAllrich’s style is rooted in blues\, soul\, and rhythm and blues and jazz. With an open ear to the world’s music\, she sings in Portuguese\, French\, Spanish\, English\, Twi and Xhosa. She has been likened to legendary artists who were important civil rights activists: South Africa’s Miriam Makeba (1932-2008) and America’s Nina Simone (1933-2003).  In her Annapolis Jazz & Roots performance on November 14\, she’ll pay tribute to both while sharing her own acclaimed compositions. \nThe venue\, Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum\, could hardly be more appropriate. Audiences are invited to arrive early to take in the current art exhibition. She Speaks: Black Women Artists and the Power of Historical Memory examines the 250-year history of the United States of America through a Black Feminist lens. \nThis has been an amazing year for Akua Allrich. In addition to releasing her album Bonya\, she has partnered with acclaimed trumpeter and educator Dominick Farinacci as a featured vocalist for his multimedia production\, Behind the Lines: A 9/11 Story. The performance weaves jazz\, soul\, and narrative storytelling together to explore themes of resilience and memory. Dates for that project are interspersed with album release appearances featuring her signature band\, Akua Allrich & the Tribe. Those dates most often include internationally respected bassist Kris Funn. Her frequent and long-term collaborator\, Funn provides deep blues flavor and foundational grooves to the new album. \nAkua Allrich was educated at Howard University\, where she earned a bachelor of music in jazz vocals and a master’s degree in social work. She was mentored and coached by prominent jazz figures\, including her godmother Kehembe V. Eichelberger\, pianist Charles Covington\, and singer/drummer Grady Tate. Her father\, Agyei Akoto\, was a founding member of the spiritual jazz ensemble Nation. The family home held a wealth of cherished recordings that she and her siblings were invited to explore. (She did not buy any albums until her second year in college because her parents had such an amazing collection of jazz records!). One of the first jazz albums she bought was John Coltrane’s Live at the Village Vanguard: The Master Takes. It is serendipitous that Annapolis Jazz & Roots pays tribute to Coltrane on Opening Night! \nA mature\, respected yet ever evolving artist\, Akua Allrich has inspired music lovers from all walks of life. She has learned to see music as a tool for healing\, truth\, and empowerment Audiences have come to expect nothing short of brilliant artistry from her. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear her in Annapolis!

SUMMARY:Annapolis Jazz & Roots Festival - Uhwachi-Reh Indigenous Arts
DESCRIPTION:Uhwachi-Reh is a Baltimore-based Native American dance and cultural arts troupe led by Louis Campbell. The troupe’s name\, Uhwachi-Reh\, is a Tuscarora word that means “Extended Family.” The group connects to the history of Native Americans—mostly from North Carolina’s Lumbee and Haliwa-Saponi tribes—who moved to Baltimore after the Great Depression to work in local factories. \nMembers from those and other tribes dance at numerous Pow Wow gatherings and share Native American history\, traditional songs and dances at museums\, festivals\, and community events. Baltimore resident and group leader Louis Campbell is Lumbee. He creates ceremonial regalia and views traditional dancing as a form of “prayer in motion.” The troupe performs traditional war dances and social dances in full ceremonial regalia\, accompanied by live drumming and singing. The performers for festival will include Denmi Whiteman ( Lakota) Angela Miracle Gladue (Cree) Louis Campbell (Lumbee) and Keith Colston ( Lumbee – Tuscarora) The group has performed at community heritage celebrations as well as the Baltimore Museum of Art\, the Maryland Folklife Festival and The Kennedy Center.
