JAMESTOWN, N.D. (Arts Center) – Join us for a wonderful evening of live music and storytelling by Debi Roger Friday evening, May 14 at The Arts Center in Downtown Jamestown..

Debi is a teller of tales, musician and works as an artist-in-resident for the North Dakota Council on the Arts. With degrees in Theater Arts and Choral Music and numerous acting and directing roles to her credit, she’s at home on the stage—from concert hall to school, outdoor festival to senior center, theatrical stage to Irish pub.

Through travels to Ireland and Scotland and from her master teachers Debi has learned a wide repertoire of Celtic (Kel-tic) songs, dances, tales and tunes which she incorporates into her residencies and performances. She is one of a handful of musicians who play the Gaelic wire-strung harp (cláirseach).

Awarded a Fulbright to study in Japan, serving as an artistic ambassador in Iceland, preforming in Ireland and singing a soprano solo onstage at Carnegie Hall are her cherished memories. When not onstage, she teaches yoga and tai chi. Her earliest memory as a wee child was practicing flying and harping in her basement to become an Irish fairy.

Debi will be spending the entire day in Jamestown also sharing her musical talents with elders at Ave Maria Village and Heritage Centre as part of our Art for Life Program.

Tickets are $15 / $10 for members and can be purchased online at www.jamestownarts.com or at the door.
