With roots in Canada and across the United States, Chana Rothman’s music spans languages, folk-pop sensibility, and conscious lyrics aimed to uplift and unite. After traveling around the globe and touring in such far-flung locations as South Africa, Germany, and Israel, Chana settled in Philadelphia and is an established singer/songwriter, community musician, and music educator. Her album “Rainbow Train” received Philadelphia-based grants and was praised by Kathy O’Connell of XPN, saying it “delivers its message of freedom brilliantly.” She has performed at such venerated venues as World Cafe Live, Rockwood Music Hall, and City Winery. After running a wildly successful crowdfunding campaign, inspired by her beloved longtime Philly neighborhood of Mount Airy, she recorded her fourth album at Turtle Studios with Ross Bellenoit as producer. The album, Mother of Creation, is a much-needed, vibrant new collection of folk-rock songs for spiritual resilience and wellness.
Michele Kishita
Michele Kishita is a Philadelphia-based artist who uses landscape as her primary subject. Her paintings are strongly influenced by the graphic stylizations and compressed spaces of Japanese ukiyo-e prints. Kishita’s paintings are in a number of private/corporate collections, including Toyota, Capital One, and Kaiser Permanente, and her work is featured in Create Magazine, on the Poetry Foundation blog, and the Studio Break and Thyme in the Studio podcasts, as well as in several literary journals. She has participated in artist residencies in New Mexico, Russia, and Iceland and exhibited at the Sharjah Art Museum in the United Arab Emirates and the Museum of Non-Conformist Art in St. Petersburg, Russia. Kishita received both her BFA and MFA in painting from the University of the Arts and is represented by James Oliver Gallery, Carrie Coleman Fine Art, Troxel Art Projects, and affiliated with Susanna Gold, and Crossing Art.
