Musicians

Yarina, musicians from Ecuador who interpret the hauntingly beautiful music of the Andes, have been a familiar site strolling the grounds of many past Festivals.

The Paul Winter Consort, one of the earliest exponents of world music, have appeared in all of the first 12 Dodge Poetry Festivals.

Other musicians who have appeared at past Festivals include Lori Cotler and Glen Velez (pictured left), Uri Caine, Diane Chaplin, David Darling, Dave Douglas, Steve Gorn, Susie Ibarra, , and the musical groups Blue Ark, The Jenny Bray Band, Harmonium, Pan People Steel Orchestra, Sekou Sundiata and His Band, and The Roots, among many others.

Names, bios and photos of the musicians performing at the 2008 Festival will begin to appear on this page in the months ahead.
