Emma’s Revolution & Peter Alsop – In Concert Together! LOVE & PEACE & SEX & WAR, GENDER, JUSTICE

April 7 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

EMMA’S REVOLUTION: Smart, funny, informative — like Rachel Maddow and Jon Stewart with guitars. Emma’s revolution is the award-winning, activist musicians Pat Humphries & Sandy O. With hauntingly beautiful harmonies and powerful acoustic instrumentals that deliver the energy and strength of their convictions, Emma’s Revolution writes songs that become traditions. “Peace, Salaam, Shalom” is sung around the world and has been called the anthem of the anti-war movement. “If I Give Your Name” won Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and the band’s music has been featured on NPR’s “All Things Considered” and Pacifica’s “Democracy Now!” Their CD “roots, rock & revolution” has been called “inspiring, gutsy & rockin’!” Emma’s Revolution is also a contributor to Grammy nominated “Singing Through the Hard Times – a tribute to Utah Phillips” and “Seeds: The Songs of Pete Seeger”. 

PETE SEEGER on “roots, rock & revolution”: “This record is part of the worldwide revolution which will save this planet…these songs you’ll find yourself singing for the rest of your life.”

In the spirit of Emma Goldman’s famous attribution, “If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be part of your revolution,” Emma’s Revolution brings their uprising of truth, hope and a dash of healthy irreverence to concerts and peace & justice, labor, human rights, environmental, LGBT and women’s rights events. emma’s revolution has performed at hundreds of events around the world from Canada, Chile, Korea, Scotland, England, Israel/Palestine, Nicaragua and Cuba and throughout the US spreading their message of peace and justice. Emma’s Revolution consistently delivers performances that are an uprising of hope and harmony so powerful audiences leap to their feet.
