Local environmental musician Joe Reilly and friends will be performing at The Ypsi Freighthouse for Earth Day.
Joe Reilly is a singer/songwriter, social worker, and Michigan educator who writes songs from his heart. The Italian, Irish, and Native American (Cherokee) singer draws from his children’s albums of environmental and community songs in this concert for families. This performance will also feature musicians Mark Stone and Lesley-Anne Stone. After the performance, families are invited to stay for a hands-on activity led by Growing Hope
Make a Seed Ball with Growing Hope
Get your hands dirty for a greener planet! Join Growing Hope after the concert for a hands-on workshop to create your own “seed balls”—small, nutrient-dense balls of clay, soil, and native seeds designed to sprout into wildflowers wherever they land. Native plants help support pollinators and our local ecosystems, and are a great way to celebrate Earth Day! They will also have free vegetable, herb, and flower seeds from the Growing Hope Seed Library for participants to take home.
The concert is sponsored by UMS. There will be a repeat concert on Sunday at 11a. Tickets are free when reserved in advance.
