How to sign up? There are three options. Make sure you are signing up for the right one. You must be a school to sign up for these performances.
1) Field trip performances are open to all classroom teachers to sign up for their own classrooms to attend a performance at Fox Cultural Hall. Field-trip performances are open to all teachers at public, charter, private and home schools in our service area. Field trips are $5 per student and we ask that students are not required to pay, but rather the school or PTO find funds to cover the cost for students to attend. All field trip performances will be at the new Fox Cultural Hall located at 8707 North Lake Blvd Kings Beach.
2) An assembly performance is when the performers and our staff come to your school and perform on your school stage or gym. To sign up for an assembly for your whole school, your school must have a stage, gym, or performance space that accommodates the performers and has seating for your whole school. If you don’t have a space large enough and would like an assembly please contact us and we can discuss.
3) A workshop is when the performers teach a in-depth master class in an artistic subject such as Improv or song-writing. Workshops are for a smaller group of students such as the music class, a whole grade, or a school club.

The Pa’akai We Bring -YOUNG AUDIENCES
This original production introduces audiences to the Native Hawaiian relationship to pa‘akai (salt). Traditionally, pa‘akai is food, medicine, a sacrament and a treasured gift. The play follows a family with multiple generations of salt farmers on Kauai, mixing in ancient stories, hula, live music, original songs and plenty of audiences participation into a tasty potluck of performance, joyously served up with aloha. Created in partnership with the Bishop Museum and cultural elders and leaders, the performance is intended for a multi-generational audience, so audience members young and old can have this restorative experience together.

J2B2
J2B2 is an all-star bluegrass supergroup featuring four legendary, award-winning musicians – John Jorgenson on acoustic guitar, mandolin and vocals; Herb Pedersen on banjo, acoustic guitar and vocals; Mark Fain on bass; and Patrick Sauber on acoustic guitar and vocals – delivering bluegrass like no one has ever heard it before. The band’s live shows have received stellar reviews and have the bluegrass world buzzing. The four combine forces to form a spot-on union of impeccable musicianship, incomparable songwriting, incredible harmony vocals (a fresh twist combining bluegrass with elements of West Coast folk rock) and seasoned showmanship. This is the “high lonesome sound” of American roots music at its finest.
Jorgenson and Pedersen are founders (with Chris Hillman) of the formative country rock group Desert Rose Band. After working as a freelance musician in Southern California, Jorgenson met Hillman and soon formed the Desert Rose Band. In 1990, Jorgenson went on to found the Hellecasters and toured with Elton John’s band for six years. Artists ranging from Barbra Streisand to Bonnie Raitt to Earl Scruggs have sought out Jorgenson’s guitar work. Jorgenson portrayed Django Reinhardt in the Hollywood feature film Head in the Clouds. In 2008, Jorgenson won a Grammy for Best Country Instrumental with Brad Paisley and was nominated for Best Bluegrass Album with Earl Scruggs.
