Rick brings tons of laughter to the comedy shows and is one of the fastest-growing comedians out there today performing at all the big clubs in L.A., Hollywood and other big cities.    There's only one thing that makes Zhivago more proud than his Latino heritage & and that's telling everyone about it (in English of course). He gets so descriptive and goes into such vivid detail at times, you'd swear you were right there with him when it really happened, but glad you weren't. Some of the most talented stand-up comics do it all the time. Zhivago is certainly one of them. Watch out for this guy. His name will become synonymous with laughter!

It's not only his experiences that he shares, but the experiences of the people that he has met along the way.

First Southwest Bank (FSWB) and First Southwest Community Fund (FSWCF) are excited once again to partner with Fort Lewis College for the second "Success for Native America" panel discussion.    The 2020 "Success for Native America" panelists—a business school professor, cosmetic company founder, public health worker, and an attorney—addressed the challenges and advantages associated with their heritage and how they navigated societal expectations and experiences to achieve their career and life goals.    "We are very excited to hear from this accomplished group of professionals and to learn from their experiences," said Kent Curtis, President & CEO of FSWB and FSWCF President. "As one of two Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) banks in Colorado, our mission is to extend financial and economic opportunities to people historically excluded from the mainstream banking system. Only 50% of Native Americans nationally have a bank account. That's the primary way one grows wealth," said Curtis. "Partnering with FLC is a way for us to further our CDFI mission and provide Native American students with knowledge and resources early on with an eye towards their future careers."    The 2022 panel includes:  Ahsaki LaFrance-Chachere as a returning panelist. She is the Founder and CEO of Ah-Shi Beauty, the first Native American full cosmetics and skin care company in the United States.   Dr. Carma Claw is also a returning panelist. She is Assistant Professor of Management for the School of Business Administration at Fort Lewis College.   Keana Kaleikini, MSPH, is an environmental scientist and epidemiologist for the State of New Mexico and Associate Director of Collective Medicine.   Dominic Martinez is the Co-Owner and Operator of Leland House Suites of Durango.   Dr. Joshuaa D. Allison-Burbank, PhD, is an Assistant Scientist and Faculty Member at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Founder/Executive Director of Rainbow Farms Therapy Group.   "The 2020 Success for Native America event offered students valuable and practical advice," said Dr. Jenni Trujillo, Dean of FLC's School of Education and interim Associate Vice President of Diversity Affairs. "As Native American and Indigenous students make up 46% of our student population—representing 185 tribes and Alaska Native villages—it is crucial that we continue to provide support and opportunities in meaningful ways. We are looking forward to bringing back this interactive event with both new and familiar faces, current faculty, and alumni."   The event is intended as an opportunity for students, FLC faculty and staff, and the public-at-large to learn from the successes and challenges of our Native American peers. The panelists bring a variety of public and private sector experience and tribal perspectives.

Animas City Theatre & Tico Time Present Road to Tico Time Reggae Festival. Arise Roots & Kyle Smith Full Band $20 / $25 / 18+   Arise Roots was formed in 2010 with the intent to create a new and unique rootsreggae band which reflects their collective passions. Rising up from the streets of Los Angeles, the band had one goal: create a fresh reggae sound with a modern feel that appeals to all walks of life without compromising the true feel of roots reggae.   The all-star cast of musicians was recruited for their talent and appreciation of classic reggae styles. After a vigorous search, Arise Roots became host to six extremely talented individuals who had already made a name for themselves performing in numerous local reggae bands as well as backing various reggae legends touring through Southern California with veteran Blake Collie holding steady on drums, Rudy Covarrubias towering on bass, and Todd Johnson adding his trademark mix of keys and harmonies, the band had secured a dynamic rhythm section. Chris Brennan was called upon for his impeccable rhythm guitar and soulful backing vocals while lead guitarist Robert Sotelo adds his unmistakable signature style of riffs and licks. Lead vocalist, Karim Israel coming from a lineage of Jamaican vocalists, was added to the group, providing his raw, sultry flow which pairs perfectly with his powerful lyrics.   http://www.ariseroots.com/   https://youtu.be/gSguT7FntpM   https://www.facebook.com/ariseroots/   @ARISEROOTS  https://twitter.com/ARISEROOTS/   Tico Time Reggae Festival  May 19th-May 21st  Jamaican & Domestic Reggae / Sound System Parties  More information about Tico Time Reggae Festival can be found by visiting https://ticotimeresort.com

FLC Theatre presents I AND YOU by Lauren Gunderson. An unlikely friendship develops between 2 high school classmates as a seemingly mundane piece of homework starts to reveal the pair's hopes and dreams - as well as a deep and mysterious bond that connects them.

20MOONS is thrilled to be returning to the "stage" after a three year hiatus, to share our latest work of original live music and dance theater with the community. "Cloud Bridge Arriving," reflects on our collective journey - what have we forgotten, and what do we need to remember? How do we think things are supposed to be, and how are they really? In the midst of this dream of separation, can we wake up to the world, as it is, and remember that we belong to each other?

18+ / Doors 7:00pm / Show 8:00pm    NO COVID PROTOCOLS FOR THIS CONCERT Emerging from his own distinct corner of the West Coast electronic music scene, Random Rab offers a powerful and unique contribution to sonic exploration. Often referred to as "The Master of Emotion" his music is patently beautiful and melodic. With diverse influences ranging from trip-hop, classical and Arabic to bass driven compositions, his songs are considered anthemic and timeless. As a multi-instrumentalist and singer, his tracks are organic, uplifting and stand on their own as a distinct genre. Listeners of all types of music can find something they can relate to in his sound. He has toured extensively across North America, including tours with Bassnectar, Shpongle, Emancipator, Beats Antique, and has headlined dozens festivals across the U.S. and internationally.   There is no doubt that Rab understands a multitude of musical styles. He has been the front man of a heavy metal band, toured as a classical trumpet player, played bass in a country music band, was a scratch DJ for a jazz fusion project, was the singer for a rock band in Mexico and has collaborated with countless musicians of all styles. From acoustic performances in the Himalayas to rocking packed clubs in New York, Random Rab has found a way to connect with people of all kinds. With a dedicated fanbase born from the San Francisco underground, Random Rab has become known worldwide for his sunrise sets that have now become one of his most sought after performances. Having played before 3 solar eclipses and at the Pyramids of Giza, Random Rab has created a unique niche for his equally danceable, yet thought-provoking compositions. His current popularity can often be traced to his breakout album, The Elucidation of Sorrow and in particular his first hit, The Riddle and followed up by hits such as Release, Falling Tao, For My Corpse and Apparently. His critically acclaimed current and 10th album Formless Edge, catapulted him into the state of momentum that is now taking hold internationally.

Animas City Theatre, Prohibition Herb Present, & SKA Brewing Present BANYAN w/s/g Cheap Skates   NO COVID PROTOCOLS FOR THIS CONCERT Led by Stephen Perkins on drums (Jane's Addiction, Porno for Pyros) and trumpet master Willie Waldman, Banyan is an alternative-rock supergroup that also features bassist Norwood Fisher (Fishbone) and guitarist Bryan Jordan (Karl Denson's Tiny Universe).   Stephen Perkins is an American musician and songwriter. A drummer and percussionist, he currently plays with Jane's Addiction and Hellride. Following the dissolution of Jane's Addiction, Perkins continued to play with frontman Perry Farrell in the rock band Porno for Pyros.   Willie Waldman working as an engineer at Death Row Studios, helped Waldman get his first rap gig, playing Trumpet on a track from a Snoop Doggy Dog album. That job led to several others, and as a result, Waldman's trumpet can be heard on albums by Warren G., Sublime, Tupac Shakur, Jodeci, Salt & Pepa, and the Eastsidaz.   Norwood Fisher, a co-founder of the heavy-hitting rock institution Fishbone, John Norwood Fisher is one bad mother funker who has been breaking down barriers and innovating the sound waves of funk, punk, soul, metal, reggae, and ska music since 1979. Fishbone's seven full-length albums and slew of live records and EPs have steered the course of alternative music for over three decades, and a lot of that can be attributed to the funky and percussive slapping and finger work that has become Norwood's trademark.   Brian Jordan has graced the stage and been featured with many legendary musicians, including James Brown, Dave Matthews, Bernie Worrell, The Allman Brothers Band, Ray Manzerik, Buddy Miles, George Porter, Jr., and many more. Brian currently plays guitar with The B-Side Players, as well performs as acoustic duo with Karlos Paez of The B-Side Players. In addition, Brian works as session guitarist, bassist and producer. As leader of the "Brian Jordan Band", Brian brings a unique and heavily charged sound to live audiences across the U.S. Former projects include 12 years (1999 - 2011) as guitarist for the high-energy funk/jazz band, "Karl Denson's Tiny Universe"   Cheap Skates As the sun set across the San Diego skyline, screeching guitars, thumping bass, crashing ride cymbals, floating keys and voices spiting verses echoed across the neighborhood. In a tiny shed where six people gathered frequently, amps screamed, wires tangled, and laughter pierced. Those long jam sessions that bled into the night was the beginning of a special journey, the birth of Cheap Skates. Since its inception in 2019, Cheap Skates has not stopped those improvisations. Split across San Diego, Cheap Skates consists of guitarists Domenic Spino and Brendan Collins, bassist Kaitlyn Alair

You're invited!! Small businesses and community members want to understand each other - literally. Come to this free training on Language Justice and find out more!   For many La Plata businesses, diversity, equity, and inclusion are either formal or informal goals of the workplace - from hiring, to promotion, to work culture. But there are always ways that we can improve. For example, does your workplace offer same and/or equal services to employees and customers who don't speak English? 16.4% of La Plata County residents speak a language other than English at home - that means paying attention to language equity is not just the right thing to do, it's also good for business.   Following this training, your workplace will receive formal recognition and free publicity! Registration is capped at 35 attendees so sign up ASAP.   Why? To better understand the importance of language justice in our community through a conversation with employers, employees, and consumers!   Register here: https://forms.gle/QiWqZHFs8wZJQHcr7
