Christian has toured and played with a variety of artists such as Air Supply, Debbie Peterson of the Bangles, Doug Pinnick of King’s X Poundhound, Vox Lumiere a Silent Movie Rock Stage Show, his partner Circe Link. his father Michael Nesmith and The Monkees.

Urban Homeschoolers was delighted to host singer/songwriter and vocal activist Melanie DeMore to help us being the new year. Melanie led us in a foot-stomping, hand-clapping experience of the Gullah/Geechee cultural tradition combined with singing songs of spirit, protest, and peace. Together we became a living drum, beating together as one rhythmic heart. We look forward to having her back with us again.

Brenna and Anna attended the 2018 Alternative Education Revolution Conference (AERO) in New York City this past August, where they were honored to be asked to present on Urban Homeschoolers, and its place in the homeschooling and learner-led movement.
