Dear music lovers, RedRum Sessions is a Berlin-based event series featuring various brilliant musicians and performers from all corners of the world in one of Berlins coolest cocktail bars; RedRum Artbar. At the RedRum Sessions, we consistently book international Berlin based musicians with different styles and backgrounds, all events are curated and organised by **The Traveling Stage.** On our 40th session, we're throwing a genre fluid, multi-cultural night with two Berlin based acts; we are featuring Latino Jazz duo Mate Cocido and the Swedish born Art Rock Carls Issa. It will be a grand evening, and we're looking forward to seeing you all there.

The ensemble blends styles such as jazz, folklore, and classical music, incorporating improvised passages and special arrangements of the repertoire. It is a fusion of popular music with a modern, academic perspective, without losing the character and original feel of Latin American folklore. The diversity of composers in the repertoire—including Hermeto Pascoal, Egberto Gismonti, Astor Piazzolla, and Julián Aguirre—together with the group’s own arrangements and original compositions, makes the music a true journey full of emotion. The ensemble is led by Juan Beck, an Argentine pianist, composer, and music educator. For this event, Mate Cocido performs as a duo. **Carls Issa - Art Rock** Carls Issa is an independent artist from Sweden based in Berlin. Hes currently studying film butalso planning to pursue music. His influences are from a lot of 60s and 70s rock music and he iscurrently trying to find a new expression for what modern rock can be. He usually performs with the best backing band in the world, ”Stacey and the Mannequins”, but sometimes also goes solo acoustic. The event is hosted by William Chee-Awai and Mayar Attia as The Traveling Stage.

Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week. You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring. Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell. **This month** Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads. **What to expect** Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM. **Who this is for** Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community. **Not the right fit if** You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM. **Details** * Second Monday of every month * 12:00 to 1:30 PM * Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219 * Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive * Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited **About the host** Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method.
