Songs of Freedom II: Anthems from the '60s and Beyond

  • Arcata Playhouse 1251 Ninth Street Arcata, CA 95521 (map)

As a part of the week-long pro-peace Against the Wind Festival (November 11 - 17, 2019), Against the Wind is collaborating with some fantastic Humboldt musicians to produce two distinct nights of Songs of Freedom.

The Saturday, November 16, concert is inspired by the movement toward peace brought about by the protests of the sixties and the heartbreak of the Kennedy/King assassinations. The music gave a voice to a sixties youth already feeling helpless from the tragic events of the time. We honor these brave musicians and poets for pushing the envelope of folk rock and reggae and leading powerful movements towards peace, continuing to influence the music of today.

Performances by Jan Bramlett, FireSign, and Asha Nan, drawing inspiration from the Woodstock generation, the Caribbean and the streets of America.
