David Rovics - Songs of Social Significance

We're in for a special treat this Saturday, April 12, when progressive  
singer-songwriter David Rovics will be our guest.
He'll do 2 shows that day... an afternoon concert for kids of all  
ages, and an evening performance aimed at adults.

David is a political folkie in the vein of Pete Seeger, Phil Ochs,  
Billy Bragg, and Patrick Street. He'll wake you up and challenge you  
to confront the inequalities and injustices you may have been ignoring  
lately.

David has been called the musical voice of the progressive movement in  
the US. Amy Goodman has called him "the musical version of Democracy  
Now!" Since the mid-90's Rovics has spent most of his time on the  
road, playing hundreds of shows every year throughout North America,  
Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Japan. He and his songs  
have been featured on national radio programs in the US, Canada,  
Britain, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, Denmark and elsewhere.

He has shared the stage regularly with leading intellectuals (Noam  
Chomsky, Howard Zinn), activists (Medea Benjamin, Ralph Nader),  
politicians (Dennis Kucinich, George Galloway), musicians (Billy  
Bragg, the Indigo Girls), and celebrities (Martin Sheen, Susan  
Sarandon). He has performed at dozens of massive rallies throughout  
North America and Europe and at thousands of conferences, college  
campuses and folk clubs throughout the world.

Schedule for April 12th:
(Central Standard Time is 1 hour earlier than Eastern Standard time)
     * 1:00 pm CST: Tour of SVI and Moonshadow
     * 3:00 pm CST: David Rovics all-ages show
     * 5:00 pm CST: pot luck dinner
     * 7:00 pm CST: David Rovics performance

We're asking $5/person or $10-20 per family (sliding scale) for the day.

If you want to spend the night, it'll be an additional $5 per person -  
bring a tent and camping gear.

No pets, please. We love your pet animals, too... however they will  
likely cause problems with our domesticated animals.

You may wish to join David and others on April 13, as they protest the  
Y-12 nuclear weapons facility in Oak Ridge, TN. More information can  
be found and transportation arranged during the day at SVI.
