Artist Style: Music: A Cappella, Choral; Music: Ritual
I am a choral conductor, classically-trained flutist, arts administrator, and lover of sacred song, ritual, and chant. I work with community groups–congregations, women’s groups, support groups, incarcerated populations, and more–to create joyous and empowering experiences that liberate everyone’s creative voice through singing, chanting, song-leading, body percussion, music improvisation, and/or the creation of meaningful and participatory rituals that engage all the senses. I frequently work in collaboration with other artists including visual artists, drummers, and dancers.
In 2016, I co-founded SongSquad with my brother Adam Blevins. SongSquad is Indy’s first all-ages, non-auditioned singing ensemble devoted to building community and enlivening public spaces through the power and joy of shared singing.
Many of my compositions are available for free on my website. Be in touch if you are interested in commissioning a song.
I’m available to lead group singing for events, fundraisers, corporate gatherings, and more, and can quickly engage large groups in experiences that create shared joy and make your event one to remember.
