Ian Dobson Music Newsletter
Hello World!
What an amazing Spring-Summer 2024 season we’ve had so far! Thank you to all of our musical friends that wanted to celebrate their library openings, festivals, school assemblies, outdoor concerts, and private events with us.
Dancin' all around
I gotta say, it’s been super crazy here in the last couple of months!
I've been traveling non-stop since late May, and happily so! From Seattle to Oregon to Kansas and all over Washington, we’ve had so much fun with Steel Drum Parties, Recycalypso Workshops and Tropical Escapes.
I videod and uploaded some of the audience remixes I’ve improvised during these performances. Check'em out! These remixes are created with the audiences' sounds that I capture live during our performances and reflect the audience's creativity, a delightful group music making experience, and a fun way to remember the show.
Did you add your musical voice to any of these show remixes?
Opening of Summer Reading at Muckleshoot Library
Thank you, librarian Robbin!
My Recycalypso workshop/show takes a bit of preparation on the part of the person putting it on. Ms. Robbin from the Muckleshoot King County Library did such an amazing job with these preparations! She generously agreed to allow me to video as she showed off the resources she prepared for Recycalypso. This video is highly-recommended watching for librarians, school teachers, homeschool parents, or anyone else who would like to present my Recycalypso program because offers great ideas of ways to engage attendees prior to my performance.

Gig at Clark College
I've had the privilege to perform at Clark College a number of times over the years. It is always fun! Here are some pics that the folks at Clark College took of our performance during their Spring Fest. Thank you Clark College for having us again!
Our Tonala Adventure
As many of you might know, I spent the 2023-2024 Winter season in Mexico. During this time, we had the opportunity to visit a very interesting place: a komil distillery. Among many other things, I learned that this traditional liquor is NOT to be confused with mezcal or tequila!
Please enjoy this short video of our visit.
Let me know if you can make it to any of our concerts, it’s gonna be a blast seeing you!
BOOK NOW FOR THE END OF SUMMER AND FOR FALL
It has been a spring/summer absolutely packed with performances, but as summer draws to a close I have a few more spaces opening up in my schedule. What better time to book that end-of-summer party, back to school celebration for your community, back-to-school assembly where you teach, or any other event in the next few months where you would like some joyous music!
