SUMMARY:Jazz in the Park - Debo Ray ***CONCERT MOVED INDOORS TO CANOPY HOTEL***
DESCRIPTION:Debo Ray is a Grammy-nominated singer and composer whose music blends joy\, authenticity\, and emotional depth. ***PLEASE NOTE: THIS CONCERT IS BEING MOVED INDOORS***  \nRaised in the Boston area by Haitian immigrant parents\, she found belonging through music after struggling with identity. She began performing at age four in Haitian churches and later trained at the Handel and Haydn Society\, New England Conservatory Prep\, and Berklee College of Music\, where she developed her signature “sound weaving” style. \nNow performing in five bands and singing in 37 languages\, Debo has collaborated with artists like Bobby McFerrin\, Esperanza Spalding\, and Terri Lyne Carrington\, and appeared at Carnegie Hall\, the Kennedy Center\, and the Hollywood Bowl. She is also a voice professor at Berklee\, mentoring the next generation. \nGrounded by bodybuilding and focused on original work\, Debo’s mission is to create music that fosters joy\, connection\, and release. \n“This album marks a change in my creative life. After many years of interpreting the music of others\, I decided to put my life\, in all its complexity\, out there in hopes that others might feel some of the same things and we could connect\, and maybe I could bring some joy and peace. It’s been a bit daunting as I’ve always been reluctant to be too “out there” with my feelings but very rewarding thus far\, and I’m changing for the better in many ways as a result.” \nHer music invites listeners to embrace their uniqueness and find joy in sound. \nRead more about Debo Ray \nPERFORMANCE DETAILS:\nWhen: Thursday\, July 30th from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM\nVenue: Rose Town Kitchen and Bar at the Canopy by Hilton Boston Downtown \nAddress: 99 Blackstone St\, Boston\, MA 02109\nFREE! \n \nExperience the magic of live jazz under the open sky with NEMPAC’s Jazz in the Park series.

NEMPAC has been an invaluable partner in making that vision a reality — providing rich\, high-quality programming both during the school day and through afterschool offerings that have expanded access to the arts for Eliot students and families. \nTraci’s belief that nurturing the whole child — socially\, emotionally\, and creatively — is the foundation of student success has shaped countless young lives across the Boston community. \nHer connection to NEMPAC is also a personal one: her children\, Joey and Elizabeth\, were both proud Eliot students who experienced the joy of NEMPAC’s programming firsthand — a testament to the lasting partnerships that have made her life’s work so meaningful. \n\n \n\n\nRobin Sidell\n(she\, her)\nRobin Sidell has been a proud resident of Boston’s North End for more than 30 years and the chef and owner of North Street Grille\, a beloved neighborhood staple\, for more than two decades\, creating a place where people come together\, neighbors become friends\, and everyone is treated like family. \nWith family roots in the West End and having grown up in Lynn\, Robin’s connection to Boston runs deep. The North End is where she chose to build her life and where she truly feels at home. \nThrough hard work\, resilience\, and dedication\, she and her team have grown the restaurant into one of the city’s premier brunch destinations\, earning accolades from Good Morning America as Best Breakfast in Boston\, The Washington Post\, Yankee Magazine\, Phantom Gourmet\, The Boston Globe\, and countless other local and national publications. \nHer commitment to that sense of community extends far beyond her restaurant doors. Robin has long been a dedicated supporter of local organizations\, including NEMPAC (North End Music and Performing Arts Center)\, ABCD (Action for Boston Community Development)\, FOCCP (Friends of Christopher Columbus Park)\, the North End Athletic Association\, the North End Youth Organization\, and North End Cares. \nThrough her work with NEMPAC\, she has hosted neighborhood nights with proceeds supporting scholarships and sponsored concerts. In recent years\, she has also supported the Jazz in the Park summer series\, helping to strengthen the cultural fabric of the neighborhood she loves. \nShe has also used her role as a chef to support local food security efforts\, hosting neighborhood dinners\, donating holiday meals\, and providing dinners and snacks for the elderly. \nRobin never forgets how much this neighborhood has given her. Her gratitude is evident in everything she does\, and her generosity reflects a genuine belief that communities are strongest when people take care of one another.
