SONGS OF PROTEST 3: An Evening with the Songwriters Featured at Neil Young's Living With War Site

Poster by McNevin Hayes

Following up May's Songs of Protest concert in Los Angeles comes word of a third concert.

Neil Young has been using his reputation as a songwriter/performer and his fascination with new technology as tools to promote protest song writing and performing. His website Living with War Today features downloadable protest songs written and performed by songwriter/performers from all over the world.

Responding to letters to the LWW site urging Young to take the best songwriters on tour , songwriter/recording artist Cindy Lee Berryhill has organized a series of "Songs of Protest" shows featuring songwriter/performers whose work can be heard at the Living with War Today website. The first and second of these shows have been at the Largo nightclub in the Fairfax region of Los Angeles.

The upcoming "Songs of Protest" show (third in the series) will be on Saturday evening August 4th, and will feature songwriter/performers Berryhill and Tim Easton, Victoria Williams, Joel Rafael, The Truckee Brothers and more.

Where: Largo, 432 North Fairfax Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90036, Phone (323) 852-1073.

I think it is time that WE ALL STAND UP while we a modicum of freedom to do so given the War Mongering Imperial Presidency efforts to criminalize and silence war protest. We need you know more than ever Neil.
