A Community Concert Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Pete Seeger!

PeteSeeerLet’s celebrate Pete’s legacy together! Bring songbooks (like “Rise Up Singing” if you have it), instruments if you like, coffee/tea or snacks to share (gluten-free encouraged). Bring elders. Bring kids.

Local musicians include:

  • Irthlingz (Sharon Abreu and Mike Hurwicz)
  • Cali Bagby
  • Carl Burger
  • Marc Cohen
  • Marlene Dickey
  • Bill Griswold
  • Bruce Harvie
  • Anita Holladay
  • Martin Lund
  • Randy Monge & Ben Sheppard
  • Susan Osborn
  • Tom Rawson
  • The Parking Angels
  • Members of the Olga Symphony
  • Members of the Orcas Choral Society
  • Linda Ellsworth & Children from the Salmonberry School

In true Pete Seeger form, any and all are welcome and encouraged to sing-along!

The concert is free. Donations are welcome to cover the cost of renting the space. If we raise more, we’ll donate it to two nonprofits: Indian Island Marine Health Observatory, and Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, founded by Pete and Toshi Seeger in 1966. (HRSC is a wonderful organization of which Carolyn Cruso and I, and possibly other locals, have been members.)

I’m attaching a poster for the concert. Feel free to print, post and share it widely.

To request a song, lead a song, sign up to help with set up or clean up, or learn more about Pete Seeger, you can contact me by email or phone at 5773.

You can RSVP on the Facebook Event Page.

Come and add your voice as we celebrate the life and legacy of this great man and musician!
