We urge you to check out the new website
promoting efforts to secure a Nobel Peace Prize for legendary folk singer & environmental & peace activist, Pete Seeger. A new edition of Seeger's autobiography (which Peter edited) is coming out this spring.
There are some great quotes from Pete on the power of group singing in the recent New York Times article on community sings around the country, many of which use Rise Up Singing.
Annie's latest 
Annie Patterson's first solo folk recording. The recording includes two original songs and a mix of other composed songs and traditional material. Annie's voice is light and beautiful. The songs are deceptively simple but rich in their spiritual and emotional power. Annie accompanies herself on banjo and guitar. 
Annie has sung for over 20 years with a vocal Swing trio that also includes Wendi Bourne and Lauren Jansen (prev. Bono). The band was first known as Big Nite Out and later became Girls from Mars. They have performed widely at swing dances, music festivals, weddings, clubs and Augusta Heritage Festival.
