\;The World's Grievance Man\, Mike Stout\, is taking up our complaints and advocating for us to join together to fight for environmental controls\, worker saftey\, and investment in jobs. \;
In the bluesy new song "\;The Tale of Marcellus Shale"\; \; Mike sings about the dangers of Marcellus Shale drilling and the need for us to take action to control it. \; In the Americana folk tune "\;29 Miners Buried and Gone"\; he calls on us to honor the miners killed at \;Upper Big Branch \;by fighting for enforcement of mine safety laws. \; In "\;We Are the Cops of the World"\; he asks that we urge our politicians to stop spending four-hundred million dollars a day on 700 military bases around the world and invest in infrastructure\, education\, and jobs in America. \; The warm violin backed folk ballad "\;The Promise Kept"\; Mike sings about the rewards of keeping our promises. \; Mike's new CD release "\;Americana Dream\: - keeping the promise is about keeping the American Dream alive.
Come rally to these causes. \; Enjoy an evening of delicious Americana Folk music with sound of the fiddle\, dulcimer\, mandolin\, guitar and warm harmonies in the tradition of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger from

The NewLanders \; \; \;http\://www.newlanders.com
The NewLanders have researched and rediscovered songs that capture the American experience. \; By interweaving traditional instruments\, including the Appalachian lap dulcimer\, fiddle\, and mandolin\, with richly layered harmonies and electric guitar and bass\, the NewLanders have created a contemporary sound\, while honoring and preserving the inspiring stories of the past. \; A NewLanders' performance includes engaging narrations and real-life accounts from the mills\, mines\, rivers\, and fields of their home region\, western Pennsylvania\, as well as haunting songs and poignant stories that celebrate the enduring spirit that built our nation. "\;Your songs provide powerful images of our nation's heritage and raise the spirit of Pennsylvania's rich past."\; Mr. John M. Perzel\, The Speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives
