Since completing her law degree at U.C. Berkeley\, Tiffany has graced the stages of SFJAZZ\, the Healdsburg Jazz Festival\, and the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival. tiffanyaustinmusic.com \n  \n  \nTom Sway\nTom Sway is nothing short of a great American songwriter whose story-based lyrical compositions possess a rare poetic content with pools of emotion under every metaphor. Tom guides his audience with theateresque sensibility on a tour through nostalgia\, laughter\, the most delicate tones and an unbridled song- shouting frenzy. \n  \n  \n  \nMichael Warr\nPoet Michael Warr’s most recent book of poems The Armageddon of Funk (Tia Chucha Press\, 2011) received the 2012 PEN Oakland Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature and 2012 Poetry Honor Award from the Black Caucus of the American Library Association. In its announcement BCALA called his book “a poetic soundtrack to Black life.” Armageddonoffunk.com \n  \n  \n  \nNefasha Ayer\nRe-joining together for this one night are instrumentalists Prasant Radhakrishnan (saxophone) and Todd Thomas Brown (guitar) of the original ensemble Nefasha Ayer – The Space of In Between\, a group founded by Brown and Meklit Hadero in 2006. This performance will especially highlight the expressive complexity of Prasant’s continued study of the South Indian Classical (Carnatic) and Jazz disciplines. prasantmusic.com \n  \n  \nHost: Meklit Hadero\nBorn in Ethiopia\, raised in the U.S. and nurtured by San Francisco’s richly diverse arts scene\, Meklit Hadero\, now a 2012 TED Senior Fellow\, has served as an artist-in-residence at New York University\, the De Young Museum\, and the Red Poppy Art House.
