Eric Johnson
7:30 pm
AMP Concerts presents Eric Johnson. Eric has been traveling on a prolific odyssey over the course of more than four decades. Along the way, his creations have encompassed repertoire that cross-pollinates genres including rock, blues, jazz, fusion, soul, folk, new age, classical, and even country. Inevitably, E.J. says it best himself: “It really boils down to the music and the song at the end of the day…. If it doesn’t have that, it gets boring for me. The most important thing for me is to grow musically and make a more expansive and meaningful artistic statement with every new project.”
$24, $31, $40
Approximate time of event: 2 hours including intermission.
Tickets go on sale to AMP members, Tuesday, March 9, 2022 at 10 am with member promo code. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 11, 2022 at 10 am to the general public.

She made that dream a reality in 2010 when she created Futuro Media, an independent, nonprofit newsroom based in Harlem, NYC with the mission to create multimedia content from a POC perspective.
Please join us for a special evening celebrating International Woman’s Day when Hinojosa will share her experiences and discuss the importance of sharing our stories as Hispanics and Latinos. Ms. Hinojosa will sign copies of her book at the reception preceding her lecture.

The Pandemia Chronicles: A Divination Ritual by Guillermo Gómez-Peña & Balitrónica
6:30-8:00 pm MST
The Pandemia Chronicles: A Divination Ritual
A brand new spoken-word monologue & “live-action juke-box” by Guillermo Gómez-Peña & Balitrónica
by Guillermo Gómez-Peña & Balitrónica
La Pocha Nostra and the artists are thrilled to present excerpts from their most recent performance manuscripts and bank of ritual actions. Utilizing a casino roulette and traditional tarot deck, Balitrónica utilizes various forms of oracular magic to select spoken word texts and props for Gómez-Peña live performance. The fate of the script and the performance are determined by methods of divination and chance.
In this new project, the artists are unplugged, thinking out loud and articulating the challenges and possibilities of reinvention in the midst of multiple pandemics. The performance includes new texts written during the past two years combined with “classics” from Gómez-Peña’s own living archives.
Arrive early for a surprise pre-performance appearance and photo opportunity with The Phantom Mariachi!
