Build A Yes Summer Series Featuring David Jackson

Join us for a soul-stirring, boundary-blurring night of rhythm, poetry, and ancestral sound as we kick off the Build A Yes Summer Series with a one-of-a-kind performance by the phenomenal David Jackson—poet, percussionist, and sonic storyteller.

Sounds of Truth is not just a performance—it’s an experience. Expect spoken word layered over hand drums, glass bottles, and organic objects transformed into instruments. From birdsong to bottles, body percussion to drum pulses, he’ll take you on a journey through the sounds of the African diaspora and the raw emotion of modern-day truth.

This is music you feel in your bones. This is poetry that moves the room. Don’t miss the kickoff to a series that celebrates creativity, freedom, and community in its purest form.
