Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Singer Jeordie Safka has spent much of her musical career trying to step out from the shadow of her mother’s musical legacy.
The daughter of Woodstock legend Melanie Safka, Jeordie was once criticized after a performance by Naomi Judd, who supposedly asked, “are you sure you are from the same gene pool?” In spite of Judd’s scathing criticism, Jeordie has carved out a nice niche on the Phoenix music scene.
Catch Jeordie Safka at the Zen Garden Music and Arts Festival at the Japanese Friendship Garden. The event will also feature music from nine other acts, including taiko drumming group Fushicho Daiko, flamenco masters the Sahnas Brothers, and Celtic-country fusion band Dream Chemistry. Asian-inspired ceramics, calligraphy, photography and other crafts will be on display in the 3.5 acre garden.
