In 2016, an indie folk band, The Infamous Flapjack Affair, travelled the length of the Colorado River Basin, stopping along the way to write music, play gigs, work with local artists, and ultimately, hear stories by those who live in the Basin and are challenged by changes to the natural river system, such as from damming and climate change. Confluence is a testament to the power of music to bring people together, to spark conversation and to unite us over shared interests and concerns.
