Rodney Whittenberg

You don’t meet someone like Rodney Whittenberg every day. He’s enthusiastic. He hears you. It feels good to be in his company. We all have gifts and his are a humble beacon, like bright copper pots hanging from an itinerant seller’s cart, shining in the sun, drawing you near to see more: you can’t miss them and you definitely want one.

Besides Force For Good and numerous multi-media projects, Rodney is preparing for a February debut of his one-man show, the working title “How I Discovered I was Black Because Everybody Keeps Reminding Me.” And he hopes to carve out more time “to just dream and be inspired. If I go to the Library of Congress and do some research, or go to a show, I come back fed. The hardest part for art/business people is to keep feeding ourselves so the well of creativity doesn’t dry up.”

Jonathan Sprout
Since his first professional appearance in 1972, Jonathan Sprout has recorded 12 albums, performed more than 6,500 concerts (including 5,500 children’s concerts), and taught more than 800 songwriting workshops throughout the United States. His songs have appeared on several internationally released compilation albums.

From his numerous projects as a children’s music producer and composer to his award winning Voices of Ages, a feature documentary about the first inter-generational choir, Rodney makes art to heal, empower, and transform.
