2003-4:
September 13 2003
Anne Price Anne Price is a versatile and gifted singer born and raised in New York City. Interpreted with her strong, rich, expressive voice, her songs—inspiring songs of labor, struggle and solidarity—can be funny or sad, thought-provoking or moving. Anne plays guitar and mountain dulcimer or sings unaccompanied. She’s been performing since 1979 in coffeehouses, schools, libraries, political benefits and festivals. Anne is also a longtime Executive Board member of the New York Pinewoods Folk Music Club. “Surely among the most beautiful folk voices being heard today... She is a terrific songwriter as well as a wonderful singer.”—Joanne Davis.
Judy Gorman Judy Gorman’s songs get their wings from her imagination and their roots from the folk, blues, jazz and gospel music she’s been surrounded by all her life. Her earliest memories are of hearing the music of Billie Holiday, Woody Guthrie, Paul Robeson and Leadbelly. Her brand-new CD is The Rising of Us All—18 songs of peace and justice. “Shoots the arrow straight to the heart...a wonderful singer and musician.”—Pete Seeger.

September 20 2003
Joel Landy Joel Landy has been an activist his entire adult life. His music has been published in Sing Out! magazine, heard on Pacifica radio stations and his cable television program, Songs of Freedom, has won national acclaim (www.singfreedom.org). From Star Wars and stolen elections to Indian Point and the NRA, Joel delivers intelligent songs with wit and humor in a style that reminds many of a young Phil Ochs. “Joel’s engaging performance style draws you in with the opening song and you’re with him right through the encores!”—Ray Korona
Paul Kaplan “Paul Kaplan has a rare gift for writing and singing songs in the old troubadour tradition. His new CD, After the Fire, is reminiscent of the works of Gordon Lightfoot and Stan Rogers, with beautiful melodies and strong narratives. This is the work of a master.” —David Massengill. Imprinted by the songs of Dylan, Ochs and Paxton, Paul has been singing/songwriting since the late 60s. His warm style and gentle humor have charmed audiences in the U.S. and Europe. After the Fire was inspired by Paul’s sense of loss after September 11 and his heartfelt hope that lessons of rebirth and renewal can be retrieved from tragedy.

Get ready for high-end pop rewrites and some very wise cracks. See his one-minute movies at
davelippman.com.

Willow Willow is an interfaith, intergenerational, a cappella women's ensemble. For almost five years Willow's 20 members have taken their music to venues such as hospices, rallies, churches, nursing homes and schools. Although they have no religious or political affiliation, they sing a variety of songs about things that are important to them, and for people who are important to them. "Our mission is to create pretty music and take it to those who need to hear it, sharing our joy in music; we are women singing together."
Warfield SuiteThe 3 women of Warfield Suite--Laura Warfield, guitar; Susan Gordon-Clark, autoharp; Christine Anderson, percussion--are all professional singers and Equity actresses.

Nov. 1 2003
David Massengill "The storytelling dulcimer player David Massengill charmed the crowd with his subtle, autobiographical tales of a gentler American South than we are used to imagining. Massengill fits into the same American tradition of ironic exaggeration and humor that gave rise to Mark Twain and Garrison Keillor."--The Halifax Herald. David's songs have been sung by Joan Baez, Dave Van Ronk, Chad Mitchell, and the Roches. His newest examine small-town life--"sort of like Norman Rockwell Meets Salvador Dali," he says.
Bob Norman
Bob Norman's unusual songs, gentle wit, intricate guitar and harmonica work, and passionate singing have charmed audiences for 20 years. According to Pete Seeger, Bob writes "warm, wonderful, very singable songs that capture the bittersweet lives of working people in a big city--the people who will not give up hope, love and laughter."

Her original alternative folk compositions, inspired by the radical song movements of Latin America, sing of empowerment over oppression in a fine mix of poetry and rhythm. She performs at women's festivals, energy fairs, labor rallies and has been part of a multimedia presentation, "Sing it Down: Songs to Close the School of the Americas." Pete Seeger says: "Great singer and organizer...at the same time! Joe Hill would be proud."

Hank Roberts
Hank Roberts is an improvising cellist--according to Jazz Express, "one of the most respected" on the international scene. It's "some of the most rich, creative, genre-defying music that's ever been a pleasure to hear." His latest CD, "The Truth and Reconciliation Show," is inspired by the words of Desmond Tutu and the actions of South Africa to achieve such a goal and, for Roberts, serves as "a document of a citizen putting forth his humble ideas in hopes that they might be of help."

Nov. 15 2003

DECEMBER 13: Celebration of the Life and Music of Carole Rose Livingston Tonight, in a celebration of Carole Rose Livingston’s outstanding artistic contributions, a selection of her finest songs and poems will be performed by her talented friends and fellow performers. The repertoire will come from Journeywoman, a newly published collection of her works.
Carole Rose Livingston was an extraordinary poet and songwriter who left behind an artistic legacy that resonates with a deep commitment to peace and social justice. Her words are joyful, witty, moving, empowering and so needed in these times. Carole’s passions embraced feminism, environmental concerns, labor unions, gay rights—but especially peace, and especially Mideast peace, with “shalom” and “salaam” linked in more than one song. Although she wrote clever and widely recorded songs like “Friend of the Foetus,” she delighted in composing catchy sing-alongs that instantly brought people together even in trying situations. To date, performers contributing to this program include: Marcie Boyd, Sally Campbell, Lisa Garrison, Ivice, Ray Korona, Eric Levine, Adele Rollider, Vicki Rovere, Steve Suffit, and Gina Tlamsa. Carole died on July 14, 2003, after having suffered a debilitating series of strokes. Throughout her life she was intensely involved in peacemaking and teaching in many different ways—she was an active member of the Peoples’ Voice collective, and helped to discover and present many performers; she was a poet, songwriter and singer; she was a professor of English and Women’s Studies at Brooklyn College and co-author of a delightful textbook on grammar. Carole forged lasting relationships with her students, inspiring them to great creativity and to graduate degrees. She was an active member of the War Resisters League and the Pinewoods Folk Music Club. Carole reached out to the world with warmth and sparkle. She will be greatly missed and long remembered.

Jan. 10 2004
Michael Hill Join Michael Hill (on guitar), Pete Cummings (on bass) and Bill McClellan (on drums) to hear a cutting-edge, contemporary blues band with original music of uncommon power and conviction. "Hill and Company return the voice of prophecy, as well as the outraged heart of contemporary urban African-American experience, to the modern blues tradition." --Living Blues. They've taken their unique, New York-style, soul rocking blues to Turkey, Brazil, Australia, and all over Europe. Their Alligator albums include "Have Mercy!" and "New York State of Blues."
Three Card Monte
3 Card Monte -- Jenny Hurwitz (songwriter, guitar, vocals), Franne Rosenthal (drums, vocals) and Talbot "Top" Katz (bass, vocals, sometimes songwriter) -- plays Subversive Pop, a mixture of influences from 60's
folk/Motown/Beatles, 80's punk/new wave, 90's grunge, with a splash of ska, reggae, jazz and a sprinkling of spoken word/rap. The result: tuneful songs with unusual chord changes and an always humanistic/politically progressive message, often bemused. Their song "Decommission Ska" is on the Indian Point song sampler.

Jan. 17, 2004
Lydia Adams Davis
Lydia Adams Davis is a songwriter in the folk tradition who sings with passion and humor. Often seen in Fast Folk performances in the 80's and at Phil Ochs Song Night concerts, she also sang with the Hudson River Sloop Singers for years. Lydia's recordings of original songs are full of insightful poetry and beautiful melodies. Lydia performed "Did I Miss the Demonstration," her ballad of nonviolent activist S. Brian Willson, in D.C. on the steps of Congress the night the aid to the Contras was voted down, bringing together the voices of Vietnam vets, Brian Willson and Senator Ted Kennedy as well as the many gathered in the rally. "I love People's Voice, and am so looking forward to singing with old friends!”
Steve Suffet
Steve Suffet is best described as an old-fashioned folksinger. He takes songs from whatever sources he wishes and then sings them his own way. His repertoire is a mixture of railroad songs, trucker songs, cowboy songs, union songs, old time ballads, blues, ragtime, Gospel, bluegrass, topical-political songs, and whatever else tickles his fancy, including a few that he has written himself. Many of Steve's songs invite audience participation, so come prepared to sing along, holler, and clap.

Her recordings include "Honor the Earth," "Sound of Light," and "Songs of Hope and Healing" (Sumitra).
Rita Falbel
Returning to Peoples Voice Café, singer and songwriter Rita Falbel offers a program of Jewish song. Her recordings -- "Hitchin' Rides" and "Timepieces: Between Jewish Past and Future" -- focus on the diversity of Jewish musical experience. Rejecting quick solutions and "right" answers to complex questions, Rita's programs explore the often conflicting strands of human experience in a Jewish context. "Falbel has a beautiful voice... This album [Timepieces] is a must-listen." --Lynn Wenzel, New Directions for Women. Joining Rita are Barry Kornhauser on cello and mandola, and Laura Liben on guitar, percussion, and recorders.

Feb. 7 2004
Church Ladies for ChoiceThe Church Ladies for Choice is a fabulous group of men and women who believe in political activism with a sense of humor. Founded in 1991, the group addresses such issues as abortion rights, AIDS education, and homophobia. You will know them by their sensible shoes, polyester print dresses, and earrings that pinch. That’s what keeps them so angry.
Rick & Andy Rick Libert and Andy Buck began singing together in Rick’s basement after discovering an old Weavers album. Since 1995, the duo has performed at Peoples’ Voice, Dixon Place, The Back Fence, Sun Music Company, and many other venues. They have been featured on Oscar Brand’s long-running WNYC radio program Folk Song Festival and—on Manhattan cable television—Joel Landy’s Songs of Freedom and Andy Humm and Ann Northrop’s Gay USA. On stage, they have been guests in Jeff Weiss’s Obie-winning serial musical Hot Keys.

Feb. 14 2004
Rod MacDonald The quintessential singer-songwriter of contemporary folk music, Rod MacDonald has released eight critically acclaimed solo recordings, traveled extensively, had his works covered by more than two dozen artists, lived for a short time in Italy, sung for an audience of 10,000 at the Straznice Festival while touring the newly liberated Czech Republic in 1991, and spent a summer with the Oglala Sioux Indians on their South Dakota reservation. He co-founded the Greenwich Village Folk Festival, and frequently headlined at New York’s Speakeasy and Folk City clubs. Now based in Florida, Rod returns to Peoples’ Voice with “something to touch your heart...something to awaken your spirit...something to tickle your funny bone...something to make you a little more conscious of your role in life."

Feb. 21 2004
Ben Tousley Boston-area folksinger and songwriter Ben Tousley has traveled widely in the United States as well as in England and Ireland. His lively, engaging concerts blend hopeful topical songs, singalongs, wry storytelling and lyrical love songs. The Boston Globe writes: “Tousley’s ability to begin political writing deep within himself represents the genre at its best.” Ben has released five albums of original songs including his recent CD, Open the Gates. Pete Seeger writes: “I respect the work of Ben Tousley tremendously."

Pearls of Wisdom, Elders Share the Arts The Pearls of Wisdom, part of Elders Share the Arts, are a diverse group of elder storytellers whose stories are shaped from each teller’s own life experiences. These tales are recognized as each person’s repertoire within their community of family and friends—but as Pearls of Wisdom they have carried them to a wider audience of senior centers and schools, to Europe and other distant lands. Storyteller Thelma Thomas, the group’s artistic director, will present the members performing tonight. Come and hear their unique stories!


February 28 2004
