Rooted Apothecary, 126 Main St, Gunnison, CO

Lydia Violet & The Bones are making their way to the beautiful state of Colorado to celebrate the coming of spring on SEEDS Tour Colorado. These music as medicine minstrels will be conjuring living altars to nourish audiences as we sow our seeds of justice, grace, beauty, & supportive community.

This event will feature Medicine & Melodies, an exciting workshop collaboration between Briana Wiles of Rooted Apothecary and Lydia Violet.

In this class we will weave back and forth between learning about herbs that help to build, nourish, and soothe the voice, throat, and nervous system, and exploring vocal technique and community songs from international folk and protest traditions that have been cultivated to empower individual and community resilience. Drink tea and experience plant allies and songs that are supportive and restorative for the nervous system

We will also explore finding harmonies in group singing while experiencing the therapeutic aspects of harmony singing. This workshop is open to song weavers and herbal students of all levels! Together we will create a kind environment of exploration and learning.

The workshop will then be followed by a gospel-folk style concert with Lydia Violet & The Bones! Lydia is an inspiring Iranian-American multi-instrumentalist who is deeply inspired by gospel, blues, and Iranian folk music traditions. In her live band she combines fiddle, banjo, and luscious harmonies to offer a revival experience creating a new wave of protest music.
