You've sung the songs. You've watched the Broadway musicals. You've danced to jazz, blues, rock & roll, and the Great American Songbook. But chances are, you've never heard the remarkable story of how they came to be.

When Rivers Meet takes you on an unforgettable musical journey through the extraordinary partnership between Black and Jewish artists whose shared creativity, resilience, and vision helped shape the soundtrack of America.

Through breathtaking live performances by celebrated Atlanta jazz vocalist Karla Harris and acclaimed pianist Joe Alterman, along with captivating storytelling and surprising historical discoveries, you'll travel from the Mississippi Delta to Harlem, from Tin Pan Alley to the Brill Building, uncovering the connections that forever changed American music.

You'll laugh, learn, and hear familiar songs in an entirely new way as history comes alive through music.

Whether you're a lifelong jazz fan, a lover of American history, or simply looking for an unforgettable evening, When Rivers Meet will leave you inspired—and listening to the soundtrack of America with fresh ears.

Join Skye Perryman, Kyle Tibbs Jones and Jennifer Palmieri for a conversation on democracy, community, and the power of everyday action.

Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward; Kyle Tibbs Jones, Co-Founder and Editor of The Bitter Southerner; and Jennifer Palmieri, Executive Producer and Host of Long Play: Winning the South and former White House Communications Director, will discuss Perryman’s new book Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times and how the future of our country lies in all of our hands.

From protecting voting rights and public schools to finding courage in the face of fear, Perryman makes the case that defending democracy isn’t the job of lawyers or politicians alone—it’s a role for every one of us.

Drawing on her frontline experience challenging threats to democracy in courtrooms across the nation, Perryman combines gripping personal stories with practical “how-to” guides that empower people to take action in their own communities. Her insight shows that the path forward begins not in the halls of power but at our kitchen tables, in our neighborhoods, and through the everyday choices we make to speak up, build community, and protect our future.

Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times will be available to purchase at the event, and Skye will be available to sign copies following the discussion.

This event is free, but seating is limited. Please reserve your general admission seat in advance.

The event will be a moderated conversation followed by a Q&A and book signing.
