Holly Near- this Saturday in Marietta

This Saturday, March 14th at 7:30 pm, Holly Near will be performing in Marietta at the Unitarian church, with "Emma's Revolution." Holly Near is a great performer with a wonderful career of, not only great music, but fighting for a number of causes, in the realm's of human rights, peace, freedom, etc. etc. etc. I first discovered her, in probably 1972-73 while at Wittenberg University in Springfield Ohio, when she came through with some traveling political activists and artists protesting the Vietnam War, and advocating for peace and nonviolence responses and lifestyles. Her songs of that era, "No More Genocide in my Name" - "hang in there, a little bit longer" and such were so inspiring and so heartfelt and perfect for the times and messsage needed. She has toiled on since, working with an independent record company long before others were doing that, and participating in causes and creating great music ever since. Several years ago, she performed at Marietta College - singing without accompaniment and weaving in some great stories. This (yet again) is an excellent opportunity right here close to home to have a fantastic musical evening, that will be cherished and remembered for a life time.
