— CANCELED —

Our entire team at Sparks & Wiry Cries sits in peaceful solidarity with the brave people of Minneapolis and our friends at Source Song Festival. In the midst of horrifying and escalating events, Source was forced to make the important decision to cancel. We are forever grateful for this community of artists, performers, creatives, and passionate administrators who show up for what they believe in every day to make music happen, often resisting through musical expression, but personal safety for all must come first.
