Afternoon
Concert - Threadgill Theater
Award-winning
political
satirist, Tom Neilson offers a good dose of humor,
compassion, and
outrage in
songs about real people's struggles, as he skewers
the
behavior of the
greedy and powerful in the media, corporate, and
political world.
His
farm roots are meshed throughout his music
and
intertwine with international themes
from the dozen years he has lived
abroad,
mostly in Africa and South America.
A
long
history of combining art and activism in the
various realms of human rights
has
resulted in his music appearing in four
environmental documentaries. Cynthia
McKinney says Tom provides a voice for all those
who believe in
the power
of folk music to effect change.
