Thursday October 11 at 8 PM: Rachelle Coba releases her CD, "Blink", at the Funky Biscuit in Boca.

“She plays the hell out of the guitar” - Matt “Guitar” Murphy

Rachelle earned a bachelors degree in classical guitar performance from the University of Miami. With all of these influences, Rachelle developed her own unique finger-style approach to blues rhythm and lead guitar playing. After college, Rachelle became known in Miami for her unique style and was cast in an indie movie, taught guitar for National Guitar Workshop, and worked on developing guitar methodology.

Her style eventually brought her to the attention of other blues artists. She worked with and toured as a guitarist with artists like Super Chikan, Albert Castiglia, Grady Champion and Ray Drew. After honing her skills as a side-woman, Rachelle stepped out on her own to front her own band. Since then, Rachelle has played around the world and she continues to grace the stage as one of the blues' most original performers.

Rachelle's band features AJ Kelly (bass), Raul Valdes (drums), Allen Paul (piano), and special guests. The Funky Biscuit is at 303 SE Mizner Blvd #59, Boca Raton, FL. Reserved seat tickets are $10-$20; General admission $15 the day of the show. Visit funkybiscuit.com or call 561-212-7115.

WHAT: Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda: The Ashram Experience WHEN: Friday, October 12 at 8:00 pm WHERE: North Beach Bandshell, 7275 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL, 33141 ADMISSION: $30 in advance at tinyurl.com/AliceColtraneTix, $35 at the door MORE INFO: RhythmFoundation.com / (305) 672-5202

MIAMI, FL (October, 2018) – What happens when you mix the mystical philosophy and music of India with the forward-leaning jazz of the legendary Alice Coltrane? That intoxicating, otherworldly yet deeply earthy music was nearly lost to history until David Byrne (of Talking Heads and more fame) and his Luaka Bop record label recently brought it back to the public with the release of a new album compilation. On Friday, October 12, South Florida audiences have the chance to hear that music live, from the Sai Anatam Singers, who originally performed Coltrane’s devotional compositions, including Alice’s musician daughter Michelle Coltrane, at the North Beach Bandshell, presented by The Rhythm Foundation.

Alice Coltrane was an acclaimed jazz musician, composer, and the wife of John Coltrane, the most venerated and influential saxophonist in the history of jazz. In 1967, John died, leaving Alice a widow with four small children. Bereft of her soul mate Alice turned to Indian spirituality, eventually opening the Shanti Anantam Ashram. Music was the foundation of Alice’s spiritual practice and during this time she released recordings inspired by jazz and the gospel music of the Detroit churches she grew up in, mixed with the Indian music of her religious practice.

This unique concert event, led by Surya Botofasina, an actor and musician who grew up in Coltrane’s ashram, continues The Rhythm Foundation’s eclectic 2018 fall season. “We are all so excited to not only pay tribute to the iconic Alice Coltrane with this event, but also to bring this powerful spiritual and musically moving concert to our North Beach Bandshell” says Par Neiburger, Artistic Director of The Rhythm Foundation.

Tickets for the Friday, October 12, 8:00 pm Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda: The Ashram Experience concert are $30 in advance at tinyurl.com/AliceColtraneTix, and $35 at the door. The show takes place at the North Beach Bandshell, 7275 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach (North Beach neighborhood), which is fully wheelchair accessible. Ample on-street and public lot metered parking is available. For more information visit RhythmFoundation.com or call (305) 672-5203. To request materials in accessible format, sign language interpreters, or any disability accommodation, please contact The Rhythm Foundation five days in advance to initiate your request. TTY users may also call 711 (Florida Relay Service).

The Rhythm Foundation, founded in 1988, is a non-profit cultural organization that is a foremost presenter of international music in the US. The Rhythm Foundation has presented concerts, festivals, and events featuring over 800 established and innovative artists from around the world. Special focus is given to those cultures connecting to South Florida audiences. In 2015 The Rhythm Foundation began year-round management of the North Beach Bandshell amphitheater for the City of Miami Beach. Their mission is to connect communities with the rich musical cultures of the world, with the aim of increasing global awareness through the presentation of live music as well as build and strengthen the diverse communities in South Florida through consistent shared cultural experiences.

Support for The Rhythm Foundation, and this performance, comes in part from the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and Cultural Affairs Council and the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners; the City of Miami Beach, the Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs and the Miami Beach Mayor and the City Commissioners; and the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture.

The purpose of the walk is to raise awareness about the millions of men, women, and children who are still trapped in slavery today. By fundraising and rallying thousands of people around the cause, the belief is that this event will be the catalyst for the rescue and restoration of human beings who are being exploited. Walk For Freedom is distinctly recognized by its participants who will be wearing black shirts and walking in single-file lines all over the world—in local towns, through busy intersections in city centers, on dirt tracks in crowded villages, along bridges, tunnels, and water banks. “We are convinced that if we do this together, if we keep showing up, if we continue to be tenacious, if we continue to turn up with strength, numbers, and courage, then we can see slavery eradicated in our lifetime,” says Christine Caine, A21’s Founder. Millions of slaves. A $150 billion industry. 1% ever rescued.

Join the LA Walk as we bring the message of freedom to thousands of people on Hollywood Blvd. Abolish slavery, one step at a time. Facebook and Instagram @WalkForFreedomLA Media Kit: http://bit.ly/wfflamediakit

This month, NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) features InFocus: Military Veterans and the Effects of War, showcasing films by veterans and films that explore the experience of veterans and war, alongside a celebration of Halloween with a selection of horror shorts.

The evening begins with a short film selection that depicts a diverse range of experiences of military veterans from a variety of backgrounds and time periods. Beginning with a futuristic sci-fi narrative by award-winning director and former U.S. Army Captain Rebecca Murga, the program goes on to include explorations of PTSD, near death experiences, the cultural complexity faced by Japanese American WWII veterans, the true stories of a recently transitioned transgender Vietnam veteran, a woman who survived sexual assault in the military, and the struggle of immigrant veterans who face deportation following their service.

The evening’s focus on veterans continues with the LA Premiere of Jenica Bergere’s Spare Room, a visually striking film about a young widow whose life becomes unexpectedly intertwined with that of the veteran she rents a room to, with a profound effect on those around them.

The night concludes with shorts program Horror: Cabin Fever, a collection of short films that take place in claustrophobic conditions – both real and imagined. From birthday parties to the studios of obsessive artists to unearthly photocopy stores, and even in the woods – cabin fever captures a frenzied state of mind that transcends physical confines.
