Manage episode 355198249 series 3287647
Happy Valentines, and Super Bowl and February Birthdays. What a great time for this Love & Home conversation.
In this episode Shana and I as new neighbors in our new Durham neighborhood are eating peanut butter and apples and carrots and telling stories of how Home & Love are synonymous in the heart. This conversation doesn't follow any conventions - so typical of artists. What does home mean? What does love mean? We answer that in terms of lovers, family, wedding, witnessing, listening to silence, singing about home, recollecting and letting go of the call and response of the bamboo of home, hearing the new cry to make soil in new home...whew! Yep, this love talk lands in homeland love.
Happy Belonging Y'all. You Better Love Yourself!
SHANA TUCKER | Vocals, Cello
Cellist. Singer-Songwriter. Arts Advocate. Teaching Artist. Collaborator. Cultural Conduit. In each role, Shana Tucker is a builder-of-connections, whether she’s associating STEM concepts with backbeats or engaging a packed house through candid song-storytelling in performance. Shana's unique genre of ChamberSoul weaves jazz, roots, folk, acoustic pop, and a touch of R&B into melodies that echo in your head for days.
A sought-after collaborator, Shana performs and records with legendary jazz saxophonist/composer Bennie Maupin, jazz flutist/composer Nicole Mitchell, Grammy-nominated NuSoul collective, The Foreign Exchange and countless others. President Barack Obama recently released his “2022 Summer Playlist” and listed the song “Better” by the Foreign Exchange featuring Shana Tucker as recommended listening.
Recent North Carolina dance/cello collaborations include When We Were Queens, a commissioned duo deep-dive into the realities of woman artists of color and how they navigate their creative, cultural, historic and present-day existence in the South while collecting and retelling the “body stories” of their lives and their African Diasporic legacies (premiering Fall 2023); They Are All, an exploration of living with Parkinson’s Disease, presented at American Dance Festival 2019 with Culture Mill; Continuing To Tell, a multidisciplinary public-space performance presented by Proxemic Media that highlights the history of Civil Rights in Durham, NC; andNoula by Gaspard Louis, a celebration of tactile reunions in the wake of a protracted pandemic, premiering September 2022.
A front-line advocate for arts education, Shana is an accomplished teaching artist, with over 20 years’ experience with community engagement, workshops, lesson planning and artist residency facilitation. She appeared as “Ms. Shana” on PBSNC - Rootle TV’s Block Party LIVE @ Home! for a full 2022-23 season.
