SUMMARY:April Walkabout Clearwater Coffeehouse
DESCRIPTION:Clearwater Walkabout Chorus for their April 10 Coffeehouse featuring Holly Near. *Please note\, this is an EVENING SHOW with doors at 6:30pm\, followed by Teachabout at 6:45pm\, and the featured performance at 7:30pm. \nReserve a $35 ticket ahead of time and pay at the door by check\, cash\, or credit card upon arrival at the event\, or purchase a ticket at the door for $40. Children under 6 are free. Reserve your ticket. \nAbout Holly Near \n“I do not separate my music from my heart nor do I separate my ideas from my daily life. I open myself up to learning as much as I can about humanity and this mysterious life experience\, but I do not relate to political work as a series of ’causes.’ Moment by moment\, I integrate what I learn into my personal life\, personalizing my politics. It is from this personal place that I write my songs.” – Holly Near \nSinging was part of Holly from the beginning as she sang along with recordings of some of the world’s great singers. Holly attended UCLA for a few short months\, but she was nabbed by agents and drawn into the world of film and television. (Yes\, she was on The Partridge Family). She even performed for a short run in Hair on Broadway. Her unique and recognizable voice turned her to singing full time\, as a soloist as well as sharing the stage with her sisters Laurel and Timothy. Throughout her career\, she has enjoyed collaborations with such artists as Mercedes Sosa\, Ronnie Gilbert\, Inti Illimani\, Emma’s Revolution\, and her long-time songwriting partner\, the late Jeff Langley. In the 1970’s her introduction to global feminism had her crossing paths with lesbian feminist performers such as Meg Christian\, Cris Williamson\, Linda Tillery\, Mary Watkins\, and Alive! Her view of life was expanded as she tried to understand the depth of sexism and homophobia. Of course she turned the lessons she learned into song. \n“As a songwriter\, she turns big experiences into personal stories. In response to the slaughter of the students at Kent State\, she wrote It Could Have Been Me. And following the assassinations of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk in San Francisco\, she penned Singing For Our Lives. The chilling disappearance of people in Chile under the Pinochet dictatorship brought forth Hay Una Mujer Desaparecida to commemorate the women who had “been disappeared.” \nShe has been recognized by various justice organizations\, including the ACLU\, the National Organization of Women\, and Ms Magazine. (She is a recipient of the Women of the Year awarded by Ms Magazine). She has been nominated for Grammys as well as the Legends of Women’s Music Award. \nIn 2019\, Holly began a website project called Because of a Song\, an online historic archive that documents some of the influential artists that rose from the feminist lesbian music scene in Oakland\, California. The site can be viewed at www.becauseofasong.com. \nHer unique and recognizable voice in confluence with her commitment to human rights and political justice makes an evening of her music unforgettable.
