Sunday Afternoon Live is a non-profit outreach of the First Congregational Church in Battle Creek. We seek to bring a wide variety of high quality entertainment to the Battle Creek and surrounding area free of charge. Dede and the Dreamers is a band that you will not soon forget. Dede Alder plays the marimba--slinky, sinuous, bright tones accompany her musings on the fabulous follies and foibles of the human animal. She is proficient on several other instruments as well, as are the members of her band, the Dreamers: Josh Holcomb on viola; Chris Michels on bass; and John Driscoll on percussion. Described as both Ethereal Gypsy and world folk/jazz, this band will mesmerize you. Her experiences with the Bahar Ensemble (https://www.facebook.com/baharensemblekzoo) and as music director for Circle Pines Center (Delton, MI), only serve to enrich the multicultural stew that is Dede's music. Lest that sound like work, this music is a lot of fun. Let the seeds grow.
