Songwriting With Soldiers Concert
Now Streaming on PBS
Our "Songwriting With Soldiers" Concert is now streaming on PBS through the month of November. The 1-hour Special premiered nationally on PBS last week, on October 25th. Thanks to everyone who tuned in!
"SongwritingWith:Soliders is a unique, fiercely dedicated collaborative of professional artists and returning veterans who salve the wounds of war through music's power to heal and bring diverse people together.
Illuminating the SW:S process, 'Songwriting With Soldiers' features songs of combat, suicide, resilience, fear, the pride of soldiering, and turmoil of transitioning out, works of war and remembrance that are powerful, transformative and demanding. This beautifully shot show offers viewers well-crafted windows into the lives of those we ask to fight our wars." - pbs.org
On November 11th, I will be performing in Washington, DC at the "Portraits of Courage" Exhibit at the Reach, the Kennedy Center's new arts space.
"Portraits of Courage," painted by former president George W. Bush, is a collection of 66 oil paintings of military veterans, and "emerged from Bush's ongoing work with veterans through the Military Service Initiative, an organization that helps members of the military transition back into civilian life." - dcist.com
