The third annual
"Women's Voices Rise Up"
The Culture Of Resistance To The Everlasting War.

I came to this event having never previously seen any of the artists scheduled to perform... now I want to see all of them again and again! OK, to be accurate, I'd seen one member (Susan Appe, the event organizer) of one of the groups (Samsara) sing several times before with her other band, Folk This!

What a night.

I've been to more than a few events where, if you were lucky, one or two of the performers were pretty good. Too often, you have to sit through the opening acts that are... well, they're learning.

But not this night. Every performer kicked ass. Every performer reminded me how much incredible talent there is out there... how many great artists that don't get the attention they deserve.
