Breakin’ Bread - Origins of Hip-Hop Fundraiser
2024-07-13 18:00 - 21:00 (America/Chicago) | George’s Encore, 1201 N Main St, Racine, WI, 53402, United States
Breakin’ Bread – Origins of Hip-Hop FundraiserSaturday, July 13, 2024 | 6pm and onGeorge’s Encore | 1201 N. Main St. Racine, WI 53402
To raise funds for Origins of Hip-Hop 12, we’re asking our supporters to join us for a meal, a drink, and a viewing of the 1984 classic film Breakin’ on the big screen for $25/person. A couple surprise performances will follow the movie.
A special menu will be available from the in-house restaurant, Gibby’s, and each person will receive one drink. A portion of the $25 spent will go to help fund this year’s event with the remainder going to George’s and Gibby’s. You’ll be supporting three great treasures in our community. Thank you in advance!
SAVE THE DATEOrigins of Hip-Hop 12 will be held on Saturday, August 17, 2024 from 4-10pm at Smoke’d on the Water (3 Fifth St. Racine, WI 53403).
We all love Origins and wish for it to continue to prosper. It takes an epic team of dedicated folks, many hours of planning, and a considerable amount of funds to pull it off every year. Many thanks to the heads for their contributions (pictured above L to R):
-Venue head: Caleb Robinson-Graffiti head: Dee Hutch -MC head: Nick Ramsey-DJ head: Dario Wilson-Breakin’ head: Willy Reynoso
We need to raise funds in a big way this year. Our annual budget nears $5,000. Every cent helps!
These funds are used to purchase painting supplies such as boards, primer, paint, markers, tarps, and tape for the graffiti area. We also give each of our painters a little something for their time and talents.
A large chunk of bread goes to pay the winners of our all-styles and breakin’ battles. The remainder goes to compensate the judges, DJs, MCs, sound guys, and to pay for print advertisements.
Please consider joining us this Saturday and please think about becoming a sponsor, donating, and/or purchasing merchandise so we can keep this rolling.
Many thanks to the Osborne and Scekic Family Foundation for their sponsorship this year and for many years in the past.

Grassroots Open Mic - Online (ft. Mandi Strachota)
2024-07-14 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Chicago) | Zoom and Facebook Live
Family Power Music presents:
Grassroots Open Mic – Online (ft. Mandi Strachota)
Born in Atlanta, Georgia and raised in the wilds of Wisconsin, Mandi Strachota is the product of southern roots and Midwest know-how, a potent mix of practicality and soulful dreaming. Mandi has become a fixture on the Atlanta scene, playing at local spots like Northside Tavern, Blind Willie’s, and Fat Matt’s. She also performed as an opener for Delbert McClinton at the Variety Playhouse in 2020, as well as an opener for Robert Earl Keen at The Eastern in 2021, and she opened for John Primer in the spring of 2024. She began taking her music nationwide with a successful cross country tour in 2019 and a scheduled tour for 2020 that was unfortunately postponed by the Coronavirus. She is known for her soulful vocals, but is a multi-instrumentalist who is quickly becoming known for her songwriting. Mandi released her debut album Fly in the fall of 2013. Her second project Unleashed, which was released in September of 2017, tells her very honest story of self-discovery. Embracing R&B, gospel and soul, with a touch of grit and country sway, Unleashed is timeless in its sound, but thoroughly modern in its message. Mandi was selected as Creative Loafing’s 2019 Reader’s Choice Best Acoustic Artist and was a semifinalist in the 2020 International Blues Challenge. Following the IBC in March of 2020, she released her third album, Pictures, a blues based project that dabbles in jazz, gospel, and country and includes her Major 7 bandmates as well as a couple other local favorites. Her 2017 country single Whiskey In the Parking Lot was featured in the Indie film Live or Die In La Honda, and she is currently in the process of recording a double country album aimed at being released in 2024, among other projects. She completed a successful cross country tour in the fall of 2022 and 2023 and is hoping to reach even more fans in 2024.

Mandi is also the lead vocalist for the Wasted Potential Brass Band who performed at Bonnaroo 2018 as well as Super Bowl LIII. They released their first full length album titled Ruining the Surprise Party in 2019 and released another EP, Room To Grow, in 2021. She is also a member of blues legend Mudcat’s band, collaborating with him on his 2018 release Castaway as well as his most recent album Flight School. In addition, she has worked on multiple projects by Andrea and Mud, as well as working on projects with Alex Guthrie, Eddie 9V, and Wendy DuMond. She has also shared the stage with Sean Costello, Donnie McCormick of Eric Quincy Tate, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Otis Redding III, and Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi.

Grassroots Open Mic – Online (ft. Kilah B. Kild)
Kilah was born from a life of great suffering. Having experienced the pain of betrayal many times over he found that his very existence was under attack from demonic forces also known as the ego.. Knowing that one must die in order to truly live he made a conscious choice to let go and let god. Being highly intuitive and compassionately empathetic Kilah decided to dedicate his life to the study of the eternal nature of his soul. His love for the unseen soon became the muse for his creative endeavors..
As an artist he expresses his love for the divine through unconditional acts of kindness and colorful displays of unwavering acceptance.. His art as well as his words are an attempt to paint a perfect picture of the oneness we share. Kilah’s main goal in life is to create a better world for all people to be free just to be themselves..
