Down Time is an LA based indie rock band that has created a diverse body of material ranging from low key bedroom ballads to dense psychedelic grooves. at the core are timeless rock songs guided by the imaginative and soul baring lyrics of front woman, Alyssa Maunders. The songs are close and intimate while also producing thorns. They capture the complexities of the human spirit, the best and worst of our kind.

As the snow fell on the Rockies and an angry mob of vigilante rioters stormed the capital in Washington DC, Down Time recorded a group of songs to tape that would later become Spirit. From start to finish it was written, performed and produced by the band in a small room with blankets stapled to the walls.

Some songs capture the flame of loss while others hold the solitude of a quiet meadow. That is the beauty of Maunders’ lyrics; they are somehow specific and poetically adaptable at the same time, creating an effect that is deeply relatable, all with a vocal delivery akin to Adrianne Lenker. The vocals float on top of solid grooves provided by the band’s secret weapon, David B. Weaver (drums/bass) and melodic flourishes from Justin Camilli (guitar/keys) which take it to another sonic plane. In an age where rehearsal space is prohibitively expensive and laptop-pop reigns supreme, Down Time is succeeding at keeping the band together.

When one thinks of Memphis, W.C. Handy and Elvis always come to mind, and maybe some long forgotten funky hits. Nashville is only 200 miles North, and has always overshadowed its Southern sister. Truth be told, this two-part lecture will uncover the real facts of that musical mecca- hit after hit and great artists of all genres, including the Box Tops, Neil Diamond, and Elvis Presley. Come join us for a nostalgic trip down the Mississippi as we stop at one of the more unusual music centers of America!

Tony Moon has spent 60 successful years in the music business. Beginning in 1960, he joined the L.A. group Dante and The Evergreens, which was managed and produced by Lou Adler and Herb Alpert. He later moved to Nashville, becoming the guitarist and conductor for Brenda Lee. Tony also began playing on recording sessions and was Nashville's first rock independent music producer, working with five major labels. He scored several big hits for The Vogues, including "5 O' Clock World." Tony has won several awards as a songwriter and music publisher. His songs have been released by artists as diverse as Porter Wagoner, Willie Nelson, Vickie Carr, Pearl Jam, and The Beatles.

He currently administers several Music Publishing Companies and a New York Entertainment Company.

The 1960s witnessed an explosion of gifted songwriters and musicians. Bob Dylan ranks among the very top in this class. Over the course of a long and productive career, Dylan achieved a quality in his writing that elevated his work to the level of serious literature. Dylan has earned multiple literary awards in his career, most notably the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016. Dylan’s work reflects multiple influences. Arguably, his Jewish background represents one of the clearest and most important influences on his work. His lyrics and poetry reflect a deep connection with Jewish tradition and biblical sources, especially the Hebrew prophets. These lectures will examine the Jewish elements in his work and seek to demonstrate the value a Jewish perspective brings to our overall understanding of Bob Dylan’s art and influence. This two-part lecture will be taught using audio, video, and text analysis.
