Tom Neilson & Lynn Waldron – Singing for Peace

November 17, 2018 7:00 pm

B4 Peace/Art Rat Studio

773 Guilford St

On Saturday, November 17, Tom Neilson & Lynn Waldron, storytellers & folk musicians will be performing in Brattleboro.
Tom is a story teller who weaves an autobiographical sketch of satire and social commentary from his dairy farm roots to the Vietnam War, civil rights, liberation struggles in Central America and East Africa, border crossings, pipelines, guns, breastfeeding, parenting, sexuality, reproduction, humanism, lost loves and more… You can hear some of his music at: http://www.tomneilsonmusic.com/.
His work has resulted in his winning several music awards that includes two Song of the Year Awards from Independent Musicians and a 2015 nomination for the United Nations Nelson Mandela Award for lifetime achievement in peace and justice. Last year he received the Arab American Women Association Award for Global Education through Performance Art.
Michael Stock of WLRN, Miami, FL says “Tom does a great job of reminding people of what is really important, and the power of folk music to say it.
Tom will tell you he is just a farm boy with a guitar who likes a good ball game and human rights.
Performing with his wife, Lynn Waldron, the 7 pm concert is at 773 Guilford St. in Brattleboro. Namaya will open. This show is sponsored by GRACE Care’s B4 Peace project. There is a suggested donation of $10-20. Tickets are available in advance at:https://ticketelf.com/events/tom-neilson-lynn-waldron. For more information contact: zoe@gracecares.org.
