Griffin Brady and Slyboots are about to embark upon another grand festival adventure, and they are inviting you to come along for the ride. This year, Slyfest 12 is being held at grounds of The Great Blue Heron Music Festival, from August 11 to August 13 – 2361 Waits Corners Road, Sherman, NY. Slyfest is the biggest fundraiser and festival that the culturally driven team throws.
Along with this inspirational festival, Slyboots is planning on making its big move to the Richmond Ferry Church (Rosanna Elizabeth Visual & Performing Arts Center), where it will secure its headquarters. In the meantime, it’s all about dancing, drumming, traveling and teaching.
To promote positive social change through cultural arts education and performance. To bring the world together, on the sly.
“We always knew that the Slyboots mission would open doors and change the world… and after 12 years of dancing down the path as it unfolds below our feet- the trajectory has become clear and our sights are set on the Richmond Ferry Church, soon to be the home of the Buffalo World Music and Dance Academy. Slyfest is our soap box, built from scratch, grown with love. Promoting positive social change through cultural arts education and performance. Bringing the world together and creating new and exciting opportunities, on the sly. Our goal is to educate, entertain and inspire. To impact lasting change we aim to provide authentic and diverse cultural experiences that allow students of all ages and walks of life to appreciate one another and foster a life long curiosity and a genuine compassion for all in our global village.”
