Dan Kusaya
World Music Special! When I moved to the United States, I discovered my passion for being a one-man band. Through live looping, I am able to perform using multiple instruments while showcasing my original songs and other world music pieces. My performances are not just about the music, but also incorporate storytelling of traditional Zimbabwean songs, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the region.

John Jackson
John Jackson plays and sings a wide variety of acoustic rock classics. He’s been playing for over 30 years, but only decided to start performing in the wild about 8 years ago. Come on out if you enjoy Crosby Stills and Nash, the Grateful Dead, America, Paul Simon, the Beatles, and Bob Dylan. While I have your attention, I might even sneak in a couple originals. My set list has been carefully curated to maximize the feel-good vibes and melt your troubles away. John shares a historic home in Broad Ripple with his boisterous rescue dog named Otis.
