Guest performers for the November 2 Song & Story Swap will be the musical ensemble Black Door 74.

Black Door 74 is Afrostotle, Frost E. Beatz, & Rigo. They met while working together in upstate New York and bonded over their shared passions for sound, rhythm and meaningful music. Each member brings a mashup of musical influences to the band's aesthetic. The result is a unique musical journey. Come enjoy it.
