Network Winter Gathering 2010 Starting with a Friday night concert in Manhattan featuring some of the best talent in topical music, and following with a weekend of workshops, song swaps and progressive conversations in Queens, NY, The People's Music Network winter gathering was an energizing and inspiring success. The sharing of energy and lives was an incredible experience. Join us next time! Pictures from the weekend will be shared here soon.
~ In the spirit and memory of the life and message of Dr. Martin Luther King, Songs of Freedom hosted a Water Not Weapons event at the Yippie Museum Cafe, on Sunday, Janaury 17th. It was a great show with many memorable performances. Stay tuned to this page for video about the concert.
~ On Sunday, December 13th, Joel Landy and Songs of Freedom hosted a rockin' hootenanny at The Yippie Cafe on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. It was all about Water Not Weapons, an environmental movement started by Pete Seeger and Phil Sauers. It was a full afternoon of music, celebration and dedications. Thanks to all the artists who made the day such a success, and thanks to The Yippie Museum and Cafe for their continued support.
I videotaped the entire event and created four 28 minute shows.

Welcome to 2010! I continue to stay busy. I teach entrepreneurship and computer skills six days a week in two high schools, produce Songs of Freedom Television, and organize and perform at musical events in New York City. I am also the proud father of a 20 month old daughter who gets more interesting every day. My new year will include a few gigs this month (see above), including one at The People's Voice Café that I hope you come to. It will be a fabulous and fun evening, as Rachel Stone, Marc Crawford Leavitt and myself present our original political musical revue - It's STILL the Economy, Stupid! The PVC is a great place with a friendly vibe. If you have never been there you are missing out on one of the true entertainment values in New York City. Here's Ray Korona to tell you all about the People's Voice Cafe. Here's a link to the PVC site for a schedule and location.
My recent performance highlights have included a series of performances in the name of Water Not Weapons, including shows on the Hudson River with Pete Seeger. Working and singing in the name of peace and environmental sustainability for our planet always introduces me to the most interesting people and experiences. And it's fun! I hope to meet you and work with you soon.
peace joy love Faith,
joel ~ A BLAST FROM THE SUMMER PAST The Annual Woody Guthrie New York City Birthday Bash at The Bowery Poetry Club, 308 Bowery at Bleecker St., NYC This year's show on Sunday, July 12 was our ninth, and it was outstanding and amazing. We were joined by the one and only Oscar Brand, who has had a radio show devoted to folk music and the like for an incredible (get this!) sixty years! He knew Woody personally and told Woody stories in addition to singing three songs, accompanied by his son Jordan on bass guitar. Our lineup also included our usual crew: Jessica Feinbloom, Anne Price, Steve Suffet, Gina Tlamsa, Carlos Vasquez, and myself. Kudos to everyone for a job well done, and Steve Suffet especially, for being our intrepid producer. We were also joined this year by Robin Greenstein, a remarkable musician who made us all look and sound better. Thank you, Robin. Here's a taste of what I mean, with Robin on guitar.
The song is Woody's "Mean Talkin' Blues".
I videotaped the entire evening and created three Songs of Freedom episodes that will be playing on cable television in NYC (see the schedule) and everywhere on the internet. You can see them right now on blip.tv. You can also listen to the music from that show by clicking on this link. And stay tuned to this station for more info about the tenth annual Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash, coming your way July 11th in 2010! ~ Last Year's Annual Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash in NYC
