Pete Seeger

Dean Stevens brought together recordings of Christmas-related songs which are well out of the US mainstream. He calls the collection Holiday Songs you Won’t Hear at the Mall, and they range from funny to serious, some are in Spanish, and many call to a deeper look at values and stories we should really be living out.

Joel Landy (or on Facebook) is a mild-mannered NYC HS teacher by day, but after hours he dons his Treason t-shirt and performs his original and parody songs around the city and beyond. You can hear & see much of Joel's music on Joel's YouTube Channel, and you can catch him at NY City's "premiere progressive venue", People's Voice Cafe.

Larry Long is the kind of great musician who brings musicians together, hence his collaborations known as the American Roots Revue. Studs Terkel called Larry America's Troubadour. With flavors of folk, soul, blues, rock, and Native American music, and as a deeply passionate activist, Larry helps transport hearts and create programs like Elders' Wisdom Children's Song. Larry & the American Roots Revue will be performing on Weds, July 6, 2016, in St Joseph, MN, at the annual Friends General Conference Gathering.

Annie Patterson & Peter Blood support hope & change through their world-famous group singing books, Rise Up Singing and Rise Again. For close to 40 years they have been nurturing & leading group singing. Peter was editor for Pete Seeger's autobiography, Where Have all the Flowers Gone, and Annie performs in multiple configurations, including with Girls From Mars.
