Community matters. Our nation's political affairs are undergoing change. And now, some things gotta be said. Please join a roster of Seattle singer-songwriters on Friday, August 11 at 7:30 pm at Couth Buzzard at 8210 Greenwood Ave. N. in Seattle for an evening of songs about our life and times. There will be topical songs about the state of our country. And there will be songs celebrating our nation's diversity. This is going to be a political night with heartfelt expressions of both concern and community. All are welcome. None are excluded. But I would expect a certain progressive sensibility to the evening of music. Don't agonize. Organize. Be the resistance. In the spirit of Sixties hootenannies, let's raise our voices in song. Come join your neighbors for live local music that lives in the truth. Hosted by David Guilbault.
