Anne Feeney is the undisputed queen of the labour movement, whose guitar
stylings are steeped in tradition. Her song, “Have You Been to Jail for
Justice” was featured in the video “This is What Democracy Looks Like,”
and was recorded by Peter Paul and Mary. Utah Phillips called her, the
“best labor singer in North America.”

Chris Chandler is part troubadour, part preacher and part snake-oil
salesman. Together, their Flying Poetry Circus and Wandering Minstrel
Show is a highly theatrical collage of folk music and political satire.
The Washington Post said, “This man is dangerous.”
