ABOUT THE FEATURED ARTIST
Ben Mulwana is a Ugandan-born and raised artist residing in Wisconsin. With songs about love, loss and everything in between, Ben’s band project “Ben Mulwana and the Village” is made of a groovy, rock and soulful sound from a group of amazing musicians.
Ben released his debut album, "Mr Mulwana", on May 1, 2025; available on all streaming platforms. The album “Mr. Mulwana” is about growth, in music, mind and soul. Ben built the studio he recorded in from scratch with the goal of recording all the songs in it. He thought of giving up several times, and several times he got back up and kept going. This album is the musical representation of this process, all the ups and downs, the struggle and the joy of it all. You will not want to miss this event, the latest in the Rozsa’s 25 year tradition of bringing the very best up and coming talent to our community.
ABOUT THE PRESENTER
Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts
The Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts cultivates a vibrant and connected community through experiences that bring the Keweenaw together. Located on Michigan Technological University's campus in Houghton, Michigan, the 80,000-square-foot arts center's design is inspired by the inclined look of the local copper mine hoists and shaft houses inside and out. Event spaces include the Rozsa Lobby, James and Margaret Black Performance Hall, Rozsa Backstage, Rozsa Art Galleries, and McArdle Theatre. As the largest theater in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the Rozsa dramatically expands the region’s access to large-scale performing arts events including Broadway tours, ballet, cirque, music, and more.
