Songs of Resilience - Santa Cruz
Celebrating Pete Seeger's 100th Birthday
We have shut down the advance ticket option on our website for this concert -- but there will be plenty of tickets available at the door!
If you already bought a ticket online your names will be on a "will call" list when you arrive at the venue. We look forward to seeing you there!
Join award-winning activist duo, Emma's Revolution, and beloved folk performer and co-creator of the popular songbooks Rise Up Singing and Rise Again, Annie Patterson, for an uprising of hope and harmony for these tumultuous times in Vista on Saturday Feb. 8th.
Pete was one of the great song leaders of all time, igniting the hearts of those who sang with him. A friend and mentor to these artists, Pete inspired Annie and Emma’s Revolution to carry on his tradition of building community, hope, and empowerment through song. The trio will lead the audience in songs Pete wrote or was associated with, using a new Seeger singalong songbook, If I Had a Hammer (from the creators of Rise Up Singing) plus perform songs by Emma’s Revolution and other contemporary justice songwriters.
You can buy tickets at the door for a suggested donation of $25. "Be generous! Be affordable!" No one turned away for lack of funds. (See below for more information on online tickets.)
You also can order copies now of If I Had a Hammer for pickup at the concert - or borrow or buy copies at the concert.
