🎶 Description
Join us for the third concert in the Busking for Justice series — an evening of soulful, roots-based music with The Makers, featuring Lydia Garrison and Nate Silas Richardson.
Drawn together by a shared love of Malian music traditions, The Makers blend vocals, fiddle, banjo, and various guitars into an intricate weave of heartfelt original songs. Their sound defies easy categorization — moving effortlessly between the global and the deeply personal, exploring the triumphs and tragedies of life’s beautiful, bumpy road.
Busking for Justice brings live local music to downtown Ithaca while raising funds for legal aid and bail assistance for immigrants facing deportation.
🎟 Free admission | Donations welcome
❤️ 100% of proceeds support immigrant justice
********
🎶 We’re so excited to welcome The Makers — Lydia Garrison and Nate Silas Richardson — to the next Busking for Justice concert on Friday, November 7, 5:30–7:00 PM at Café Dewitt!
Their music draws from the heart and the music of Mali, West Africa — weaving together fiddle, banjo, and various guitars in songs that feel both timeless and fresh. Come enjoy an evening of connection, compassion, and community.
Admission is free, and your donations will support legal aid and bail assistance for immigrants facing deportation.
💛 Bring a friend, enjoy some food, and let’s fill Café Dewitt with music and solidarity!
