SONG CIRCLES
Kid B has led song circles for over 20 years, and has returned to this longtime love, inspired by his dear friend and former partner Lisa Littlebird.
He offers music as medicine — a joyful, playful, soulful, powerful alchemy of expression, connection, inspiration, and healing.
He helps folks open their voices and hearts... offering songs of his own and others... creating new songs through improvisation... weaving in play, movement, embodiment, breathwork, ritual, joy, shadow...
He co-leads San Francisco’s monthly Song Circle Magic, and offers circles at festivals and venues nationwide.
Beatboxing / Live-Looping
Kid Beyond made his bones as a groundbreaking vocal wizard — live-looping his singing and beatboxing to create all-vocal electro. Take a peek:
