Ecstatic Prayer & Expression Song Circle
Thomas Promise
Have you ever wondered why men singing together is such a rare and unheard of occurrence?
Outside of religious institutions and sporting events, most men have never encountered the sacred, transformative sound of male voices (and hearts) in concert with one another, just for the joy of it.
Join longtime friends, neighbors, cosmic co-pilots and ‘no holds bards’ Brian ‘Yam’ Dwyer and Thomas Promise as they lovingly and playfully welcome every man within earshot to get into their bodies, open up their mouths and SING!
This is a one-time-only musical happening unlike anything you’ve ever witnessed or participated in before.
It’s not about ‘good’ or ‘bad’ voices. There’s no division between ‘performers’ and ‘audience’. Everything and everyone is welcomed to bring precisely what they’re bringing, exactly as they are, and it somehow all turns into one of the most heart-affirming experiences you’ve ever been a part of.
BIO
Thomas Promise likes to have fun singing. Vocal noise bands, summer camp singalongs, barbershop quartets and ritual freedom jams are some of the sonic organisms of which he has been a cell. Music has been a golden cord for him to hold on to anytime he's been laid low. He's here to prove that whatever voice you were blessed with is the perfect voice to amplify your prayer and sing with others. You will move your whole body and whole heart when you sing with him. Thomas is currently helping to bring to life a reparations and mutual aid-based community land trust in Belfast, ME. He's learning to trust the deeper currents that move through all things.
