The Waymores Tom Kimmel, Sally Barris and Don Henry have written songs for the stars & garnered praise for their solo works, yet what’s most exciting about The Waymores is the magic they make onstage. A three-pack of Nashville’s finest singer-songwriters, not in the round, but playing as a band & rolling like a river. Grammy Award winner Don Henry’s songs have been recorded by Ray Charles, Patti Page, Conway Twitty, Kathy Mattea and dozens of other great artists… but they shine brightest when sung by the artist who wrote them. Long appreciated as one of Nashville’s finest singer-songwriters, Don is revered by fans, critics and peers alike for being one of the most inspiring, entertaining and funny(!) artists you are ever likely to see and hear. Whether in her own hands or those of hit artists like Martina McBride or Lee Ann Womack, Sally Barris’ music makes an indelible impression. And while her writing credits mightily impress—her songs have been covered by Trisha Yearwood & Keith Urban, John Michael Montgomery, Kathy Mattea and many others—fans and peers are most captivated by her bright spirit and high mountain soprano. Tom Kimmel’s business card facetiously reads Overnight Success, but the truth is far from it. After graduating college he worked as a short order cook, bus boy, taxi driver, chef, shipping clerk, lab technician, janitor, waiter, bartender and window washer on his way to establishing himself as an award winning songwriter (Johnny Cash, Linda Ronstadt, Joe Cocker, Randy Travis and a host of others) and critically acclaimed performing artist (seven albums).

Caleb Hawley You might recognize NYC based artist Caleb Hawley from season 10 of "American Idol", when he had the Aerosmith icon Steven Tyler singing along and jamming out, while recognizing him as "Something new and something different." In addition to his stint in reality TV this Harlem based blue-eyed soul singer has toured the country along with his "merch-dog" Fargo, playing nearly 1000 shows over the past four years. Along the way Hawley has received top honors in the prestigious New York Songwriters Circle Contest (2008 and 2009), the John Lennon Songwriting Contest (2009), the Telluride Festival (2010), and most recently took first prize in the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest (2011) for his songwriting. With three self-produced full-length albums under his belt, and a tour history that makes any homebody cry, this 26-year-old multi-instrumentalist is prepared to engage any crowd he comes across, even if it means busting out some not-so-smooth dance moves.

CLIMATE-CHANGE ADAPTATION STRATEGIES: FROM INTERNATIONAL, NATIONAL, STATE AND CITY PERSPECTIVES Climate news stories often discuss the effects of a warming climate, and what the future might hold for humanity. But less frequently does society hear what policy makers and scientists suggest as ways in which such change might be best managed. Buying compact-fluorescent light bulbs seems like a fine first step, but what bigger picture solutions exist? Paty Romero-Lankao, a National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) scientist, will explore how population-dense megacities in developing nations manage vulnerability to climate change risks such as heat waves, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events.

GIANTS AMONG MEN: Helping Elephants and People Live Together in One of the Harshest Regions of the World In a groundbreaking effort over the past nine years, The WILD Foundation – a Boulder-based nonprofit organization – has worked with researchers, communities, governments and schools to protect a unique herd of elephants in Mali, West Africa. Encroaching deserts and human settlements have pushed this herd of 550 elephants to the only remaining place they can live – the arid desert in Central Mali. This unique herd traverses the longest annual migration ever recorded, traveling some 400 kilometers each year in search of food and water. In this evening presentation, WILD’s President Vance Martin will tell the story of these desert elephants, their ‘great migration and WILD’s ongoing work to ensure the herd’s long-term survival through community engagement and mobilization.
