A Benefit for encuentro 5 and the Industrial Workers of the World

George Mann
Sunday, May 15 @ 2:00 PM
encuentro 5
33 Harrison Avenue in Chinatown

Suggested Admission $5-$12, no one turned away for lack of funds!

George Mann is a New York City-based folksinger who sings songs from the last century of labor and social activism, and his own songs are powerful and funny takes on the state of the nation.  He also writes songs of hope, healing, struggle and triumph, and for years he recorded and performed with Julius Margolin, who was 93 when he died last August.

His new CD, "Until You Come Home," features such folk legends as Tom Paxton, Utah Phillips, Holly Near, Magpie, John Gorka and many more artists singing songs about the experiences of war and of returning home.  Inspired by the book "Voices of Vets," George produced this new CD to help welcome home our returning service members and recognize the sacrifices they and their families have made for our country.  He is also releasing his new CD, "Songs for Jules and Bruce," in May.

Proceeds of the concert will benefit the Industrial Workers of the World and encuentro 5.
