<p style="border: medium none ; padding: 0in;">I am a touring folk
singer/songwriter from Western MA who
does political satire, parody, and general social commentary. I can be
in Eastern/Central IA late JUne, early July if you want a concert. I
did not expect to get this far west, but the tour has expanded to
include St Louis and MN so am only now contacting you. I play at
colleges, house concerts, fundraisers,
coffeehouses, demonstrations, union lines, <span> </span>conferences/conventions... Please let me know
if you are interested in booking or know of a possible venue. Also please feel
free to fwd my email to any lists interested in progressive folk music. Below
is a review from a Princeton concert. Attached are a bio and sample
poster. There are music samples on Sound Click under Acoustic Folk. Thanks,

anti-war, counter recruitment, peace and justice groups, etc.</p>
<p> If
at all possible, you should have Tom Neilson perform -- he's really superb. One
of the most politically astute folksingers with an extraordinary voice I've
ever heard. It was a wonderful evening -- the audience was crazy about him, and
many have asked us to have him down again soon. We raised good money for our
sponsored "before you enlist" documentary. He's also great fun, very
warm and engaging, had the audience laughing, and he spoke to all -- young,
old, in-between. He did a song called "Body Bags" which really speaks
to the counter recruitment movement -- I asked him to sing it for all, and it
was very moving. He has some amazing tunes. A Finalist at Kerrville
Songwriters' competition, he was called the Jon Stewart of folk music. You should
grab him if you can.</p>
