Kj REIMENSNYDER-WAGNER (June 2nd, First Baptist)
Singer/Songwriter/Performer/Motivational Speaker/Educator “Kj” has a short first name since her last name of Reimensnyder-Wagner is extremely LONG! Those who know her and know her music, realize that just the initials “Kj” are all you need to recognize this positive-energy performer throughout the US and UK. Kj was intrigued with the guitar following her first venture at summer camp, and at the age of 12 received her first guitar from her parents. Once-shy, she began writing songs that year, and matured from songs celebrating the birth of puppies, to battling the blues of teenage love-losses, to land conservation and the stories of fine people she's met over the years. In recent years, Kj has been chosen as the Keynote Speaker/Entertainer for many conferences featuring healthy attitudes and career inspiration, dedications and opportunities she cherishes and continues to accept. She began her non-profit in 2001 called “KjSmile, Inc” to assist with music in hospitals and special-needs camps, among other venues. |
ANDY SEAL (June 23rd, St. John's) Andy Seal has been performing in numerous musical groups for the last thirty years. His latest adventure since 2016 is from the world of sound immersion. Built around an ensemble of large gongs, a few additional percussion instruments, and a touch of electronic synthesis, Andy’s performance is intended to create a sonic atmosphere that is meditative and relaxing. To many, the gong’s first impression may be a sound that is brash and thunderous, however, this style of immersion and soundscape relies more on the gongs’ lighter, “whispering” tones to induce calm and creativity as an antidote for industrial stress.
