Who did David Byrne of Talking Heads fame call to record a track for his new album "American Utopia?" Detroit School of Arts.

Join us in the parlor with Vocal Music Director Cheryl Valentine & DSA students to hear about their experience collaborating on the music video for "Everybody's Coming to My House" performed by the Vocal Jazz Ensemble & filmed by students in Valentine's home.

Said Byrne: "When I saw what the Detroit students did with my song, it completely changed the way I thought of it. In fact, it changed the meaning of the song — I realized it was about inclusion, welcoming, and not being alone. It’s a more generous interpretation of the song than what I do with my voice. We are all in the same house — if we want to be. Just goes to show how a song can change (radically!) depending on who is singing it.”
