Singing Resistance
By Emily Lacy

Creating 17 albums over the past 11 years, Emily Lacy shares the release of her first set of her recordings ever printed on vinyl. Concentrating on the art of vocal music, and influenced by folk and punk traditions from around the world, her new collection of songs, “Your Weatherbeaten Soul” is a meditation on some of the darker origins of the American political system. It also investigates the folklore surrounding that system, as well as patterns of family, loss, violence, and oppression in many forms.

Lacy will also lead and share a selection of material meant for communal singing from her spring recording project “5 Songs for Bernie Sanders”, which concerns notions of freedom and justice in the now.
