One Person Removed Panel and Greenlit Jam Session

“One Person Removed” is a conversation about how the opportunities, resources, and connections we need are often just one degree of separation away, and how The Original Music City initiative showed what’s possible when Philadelphia’s music community comes together to share knowledge, access, and support under a shared purpose. The discussion will be followed by a special birthday edition of the Greenlit Jam Session, bringing the community together through live music, collaboration, and celebration.

Panelists include:
Kristen Kurtis — WXPN Morning Show Host & Assistant Music Director
Ramon Jones — Executive Director, Philadelphia Recording Academy
Suzann Christine — Artist/Performer, The Original Music City Task Force Member, President & Founder of SCH Creative & Performing Arts
Melvin Powell III — Co-Founder, Sync Production Group x Black Soul Summer

The Greenlit Jam Session is an open-format live music experience where artists, musicians, vocalists, and creatives come together to collaborate, improvise, network, and celebrate Philadelphia’s music community in real time.
