ON KA'A DAVIS
JULY 2-3-5
The Stone is proud to present a rare appearance by mystical figure On Ka’a Davis who blends the psychedelia of Sun Ra, Miles Davis, and Jimi Hendrix with the ever-growing counterculture of Downtown New York.

MATANA ROBERTS
JULY 9-12
from Matana—
Introducing Coin Coin Community: Sound Exploration with Heart and Purpose

Join me for an immersive solo experience that blends sound, storytelling, and collective vocalizations—rooted and inspired by my Coin Coin records( https://cstrecords.com/pages/matana-roberts?shpxid=fd17ddd1-5306-4e06-8a71-0c53b25de859). Each night, we’ll dive into soundscapes inspired by each recording in the series combined w/crucial causes impacted by today’s horrible political moment, from LGBT rights to reproductive justice and immigration. And the best part? All ticket proceeds will go directly to my fave grassroots organizations fighting for change.

It’s a healing, interactive work that needs your witness to thrive. I believe we can make a huge impact together, in community.

My dear mother called the Coin Coin project "a musical monument to the human experience" and she couldn't have been more right.

Let’s keep the conversation—and the experience of change—alive. This is just the beginning.

Thank you for the support.
