7/13 – Harry Tuft
Harry Tuft grew up singing and playing a series of instruments – from the piano to the clarinet, ukulele, baritone uke, and, in college, a six-string guitar.
Philadelphia’s lively folk scene provided the setting for Harry’s first ventures into public singing. From there, friendships with Dick Weissman and Roger Abrahams fostered a growing interest in Anglo-American folk music.
In 1962, Harry opened the Denver Folklore Center. Putting his energies into the store over the years, Harry has found time for teaching and occasional singing, as time allows. In his first album, “Across the Blue Mountains,” Harry was ably joined by old friends Dick Weissman, Jay Ungar, Ed Trickett, Artie Traum and Laraine Grady Traum. His 2011 album, “Harry Tuft & Friends: Treasures Untold,” is now available.

IMAGINE 2020 Speaker Series: Artist As... Citizen, Neighbor, Change Agent
2016-07-21 15:00 - 17:00 | Studio Loft at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, 908 14th St, Denver, CO, 80204, United States
Artists are painters, filmmakers, dancers, writers, and musicians. But can they also be citizens, neighbors, and change agents? Would the world be a better place if we tapped artists as natural community assets who can help create real change in neighborhoods? The Laundromat Project (The LP) deeply believes so. By investing in artists, they amplify the creativity that already exists within communities while building community networks, solving problems, and enhancing a local sense of ownership. Every day, The LP grapples with both the power and the challenges of being a good and artful citizen, neighbor, and catalyst for change within diverse settings. Kemi Ilesanmi, Executive Director of The LP, will examine this and more as she explores how an arts organization may intentionally help to create a community of neighbors, artists included.
The Laundromat Project (The LP) achieves its mission by bringing socially relevant and socially engaged arts programming to laundromats and other everyday community spaces in order to reach as many of their neighbors as possible.
3 p.m. Check In
3:30 p.m. Kemi Ilesanmi

She spends her time searching for galaxies that have more than one black hole.

Talk:
“It came from space: The solar system’s ultimate weapon”-Learn all about the infamous asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs and left us without pet T-Rex’s, Brontosaurs cars, and Pterodactyl delivery services.
Thomas Rogers:
Thomas Rogers is a CU Astrophysics grad student, graduating this summer. For his thesis project, Thomas designed and built a soft X-ray spectrograph which was launched on a suborbital sounding rocket in May, 2015. Thomas named the instrument the Off-plane Grating Rocket for Extended Source Spectroscopy (OGRESS). OGRESS was designed to observe diffuse extended sources such as nearby supernova remnants, which can be several degrees across on the sky. After his graduation, Thomas will be designing and building spacecraft as a Systems Engineer at Ball Aerospace.
Topic:
Thomas will talk about sounding rockets, including a bit of their history, what they’re used for, and why they’re important for science and technology development.
Baylee Bordwell
Baylee Bordwell is a graduate student in the astrophysics and planetary science department at the University of Colorado Boulder.

7/27 – The Deltaz
The Deltaz have worked over a decade to master a wide spectrum of sounds, from heavy blues and psychedelic rock to classic country and folk. Brothers John Siegel and Ted Siegel spend many of their days perfecting new records at a handmade studio adjacent to residence in the hills of Mulholland Highway that overlook Los Angeles. They have become mainstays at a nearby Southern Californian institution, The Old Place, regularly performing for patrons at the ever-packed restaurant in the mountains. There, they caught the ear of the late bassist Rick Rosas (Neil Young, Joe Walsh), who became a mentor to the group. They spend their remaining hours rigorously touring, headlining shows across the country while attracting the attention of sonic peers such as alt-country act The White Buffalo and Mississippi Blues legend Watermelon Slim, playing with both on several occasions. The Deltaz have had their music placed on CMT and MTV television shows such as Jersey Shore and Party Down South.
