You have a lot of Christian songs on your CD's, is this the kind of concert you do?
We are a faith based organization and this band is also the church band for The United Methodist Church for All People. Because of our church connections, many songs on our CD's are Christian. However, the music in our concerts varies depending upon the venue. Typically, community concerts are secular music like Shining Star, Yes We Can Can, Takin' it to the Streets, You Gotta Be, What's Going On, Laugh Laugh Laugh, A Little Help from My Friends, and other songs with a positive message. All of the programs of Harmony on the Southside are open to, and designed for, people of all faiths, sexual orientation, income, race, or ability.
How much does it cost to hire The All People Band?
The cost of a concert varies, depending upon the time of day and day of the week. If you are a community organization on the South side, we may be able to defray some of the cost of a concert from grants which make community concerts possible. Contact Eileen Howard for a quote. 614-214-4030.
If I buy a CD, where does the money go?
All profits from both Plenty of Room and MakeOver support the programs of Harmony on the Southside and help fund concerts, equipment, materials and marketing.
How are you funded?
The Harmony on the Southside programs are funded by donations from individuals, churches and businesses, as well as grants from The Ohio Arts Council, The Greater Columbus Arts Council, and the United Way. Tax deductible donations can be made to Community Development for All People and marked for "Harmony on the Southside".
I am a singer or musician, how can I get involved?
We welcome all talents and levels of experience at Open Mic, Mondays at 7:00 pm. The first Monday of every month is a performance week. If you are a professional singer or musician, we would welcome you sitting in at any of our concerts. We often feature guest artists. If you are an experienced singer or musician and would like to instruct others, Open Mic includes lessons, and we can also discuss lessons at other times. Please contact Eileen Howard, 614-214-4030 to discuss options.
I am a visual artist, are there ways for me to get involved?
Harmony on the Southside has recently expanded to include Arts Encounters with people on the South side of Columbus. These are typically short, flexible events where low income children, youth and/or adults are already gathered for social services or after-school programs. They are intended to spread the joy of art, as well as encouraging passion and interest in the arts. In addition, one-on-one mentorship opportunities exist to help emerging artists who are low income, in recovery, or handicapped. If you are interested in getting involved please contact Eileen Howard, 614-214-4030.
