Hellraiser Anne Feeney In Concert (from annefeeney.com)

Pittsburgh-based agitator Anne Feeney performs music that she says is esigned to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." Not many omen have chosen to walk the path of Woody Guthrie, but Feeney has made a career of it for the past 35 years. She has lived her life on the frontlines--performing at thousands of rallies, picket lines and demonstrations over the years--including the WTO demonstrations in Seattle, Solidarity Day in Washington, DC, and for 1.5 million at the April 25, 2004 March for Women’s Lives. Feeney's bottomless songbag draws on Irish, bluegrass, traditional, labor, pop, folk and contemporary material. She’s as ikely to sing a traditional song or an obscure gem by one of her many friends in the singer/songwriter circuit as she is one of her own awardwinning songs. Feeney's anthem, "Have You Been to Jail for Justice?" is featured on Peter, Paul and Mary’s CD, "In These Times," and also on "Carry It On," their 5 CD boxed set. That song was also featured in "Get Up/Stand Up: The History of Pop and Protest," a documentary featuring the greatest protest songs of all time, which aired nationally on PBS, and worldwide.

Her latest release is "Dump the Bosses Off Your Back." The fifteen song CD includes six new songs from Feeney as well as musical contributions from Commander Cody, the Austin Lounge Lizards, Emma's Revolution and an allstar cast of Pittsburgh musicians. While Feeney may prefer the excitement of performances at rallies and demonstrations, she knows that many of her fans prefer pepper-spray free environments to listen to the songs and stories that make up her sometimes caustic, sometimes hilarious, always inspiring show. The woman that Utah Phillips calls the "best labor singer in North America" performs at: Danny Yeager's place on Saturday, December 6, 2008. A $10-$20 donation is suggested (sliding scale--pay what you can), and kids are welcome and free. Danny's address is 1211 Haley Place in College Station. BYOB, starts at 7:30, doors open at 7. Please bring potluck snacks to share. Reservations are necessary, so call (979) 777-8758 or (979) 696-8695 or email touchst@cy-net.net.
