Joshua Davis wsg Laura Bates, Jen Sygit, Mike Lynch and Geoff Lewis

EAST LANSING, Mich. - (SCENE) Metrospace, 110 Charles St., will host an all-ages concert on Friday, March 22nd, featuring Joshua Davis with special guests Laura Bates, Jen Sygit, Mike Lynch and Geoff Lewis.

The doors will open at 7:00 p.m. and music will begin at 8:00 p.m. General admission is $10 at the door.

The Friday show will celebrate the release for Davis's new CD, "A Miracle of Birds," inspired by last year’s 5-day, 129-mile marathon in the West Bank. In February, he traveled to Palestine and Israel with nonprofit organization, On the Ground, to participate as "cultural emissary" in a fundraising journey to support fair trade farming communities in the West Bank.

Davis’ album, “Miracle of Birds,” was inspired by his experience in the Holy Land. Half of the proceeds will go toward olive trees and educational scholarships for the farmers and families he encountered during his travels. The songs are deeply personal and deal with his struggle between his Jewish identity and the oppression and confusion he found in the Middle East.
