Globetrotting with Ryan Herr at SB Dance Tribe!

“To live is to be musical, starting with the blood dancing in your veins. Everything living has a rhythm. Do you feel your music?” ~ Michael Jackson ~ Ryan Herr is our Minister of Music this Sunday! He says, “I’m feeling the summer coming on strong! This weekend is the beginning of my first tour that will take me all the way around the globe and back. So my theme for this Sunday is globetrotting :) To me, ecstatic dance is about community. It's about co-creating over performing; taking off the "entertainment" hat and putting on the "collaboration" hat." "What I love most is the freedom to improvise and explore musical concepts and ideas in a way that doesn't feel possible in other gigs. And the expressions on peoples faces as they dance, I love watching how beautifully bizarre we all are! I greatly appreciate Santa Barbara Dance Tribe. I think my first time playing here was close to 10 years ago now. I enjoy how consistently high energy and playful the room always is.” Ryan Herr has been weaving his mix of live and electronic music for festivals, events, ecstatic dances, and retreats throughout the world for nearly 20 years. His sets are loved for his synthesis of original and live elements and his uniquely designed blend of genres and cultures, both contemporary and classic. He's known for his collaborations with The Polish Ambassador, Wildlight and Ayla Nereo and he has performed at many major festivals around the country, including Lightning in a Bottle, Symbiosis, Beloved, and Lucidity. www.ryanherrmusic.com
