Peace singers King and Brandow to
perform
Friday, March 30 at Manchester College
Folk musicians Charlie King
and Karen Brandow will perform Friday, March 30 in Petersime Chapel of
Manchester College. The free concert begins at 7 p.m.
"We try to cover a broad
emotional landscape in our concerts,” said King, whose songs have been
recorded by Pete Seeger, Holly Near, Arlo Guthrie, Chad Mitchell and
many other artists. “What we most value in a song is the way it helps us
see an old reality in a totally new light." In addition to their full
concert tour schedule, they sing in support of groups seeking peace,
human rights, environmental sanity and alternatives to violence.
Karen Brandow began
performing with King since 1998. While doing human rights work in
Guatemala from 1986 to 1994, she studied voice, performance and
classical guitar. She is a founding member of the a cappella group, the
Non-Traditional Imports.
Their CDs include
On the Journey,
Sparks & Tears and
Puppet Town.
The concert is funded by
Plowshares, a peace studies consortium of Manchester, Earlham and Goshen
colleges.
