Musical guests include:

MIRROR OF TRUTH (Esmé Patterson solo project) Singer/songwriter Esme Patterson is a founding member of the Denver-based indie folk group Paper Bird. Growing up in nearby Boulder, Colorado, she and her sister, and bandmate, Genevieve Patterson, grew up listening to old R&B records, coming to folk and Americana music later on. In her new solo future folk project, Esmé explores her personal evolution with soulful, poignant, thoughtfully constructed music, highlighted with moments of wry humor and painful introspection. EA$$IDE LUPITA Korryne aka Ko Ko La aka EA$$IDELUPITA performs and produces in R A R E B Y R D $, a Sonic Collective of MCs, beatmakers, and instrumental magicians bringing bangers to the city and beyond. EA$$IDELUPITA is your favorite DJ’s favorite DJ. She brings hoodrat jams to the kind folks who need to feed the hoodrat within. BELL MINE Bell Mine is a Denver dark ethereal synth pop solo act, playing music generally described as frenetic energy heavily colored with unresolved issues. Bell Mine takes corporeal form, in order to lean into solar bursts, shoot columns of air into places that have long been shuttered, and to bring you sound. $ADDY Kahoku Williams creates a driving mixture of hardstyle and industrial techno.

Local vendors: The Office of BS will be joining us with their rad goods and designs! Oh So Cuticle will also be setting up a portable nail salon, offering fun, fast, and inexpensive acrylics, polishes, and manicures! -----

We support this immersive theater project by Tara Rynders; please consider pitching in to help the campaign reach its goal! 

....

“Inspired by personal accounts of healthcare providers and patients, registered nurse Tara Rynders created The Clinic as a year-long artist residency which serves to shed light on hospital work culture, and the rise of compassion fatigue, burnout and post traumatic stress..

Through performance, educational classes, interactive creative experiences and dance classes, The Clinic works intimately with healthcare providers and patients to create a stronger culture of self-care and a stronger authentic connection between nurses and patients so all patients feel seen, heard and cared for.” 

2NITE at syntax! 900pm showtime!
