In the summer of 1941, Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger in a group called the Almanac Singers made a cross-country tour to put together music that inspired thousands on picket lines, in union halls and theaters.
That historic tour – which included a stop at the UAW Local 248 strike of Allis-Chalmers – is being re-created this summer by two folksingers in 25-city nationwide tour that will include a stop in Milwaukee on Thursday, July 18.
The Wisconsin Labor History Society is sponsoring an evening concert by the two singers, Rik Palieri and George Mann, at 7:00 p.m. at Milwaukee Turners Hall, 1034 N. 4th St.
Tickets may be purchased at the door on the night of the performance or online by clicking here.
The program each night will include songs from that tour 72 years ago, including “Union Maid,” “Talking Union,” and “Which Side Are You on?” In addition, Palieri and Mann will be relating stories from the tour, based on interviews they’ve had with Pete Seeger, now 93 and living in upstate New York. The Almanacs’ now almost-mythical journey has become an inspiration for legions of musicians, free thinkers, and gasoline gypsies, and has paved the road for many of today’s singer/songwriters.
The July 18 program will also involve some songs of the two folksingers that will reflect upon current day events. Local musicians will be asked to join in, as they were by the Almanac Singers in 1941.
Admission will be $10, with any proceeds going to the “Labor History in the Schools” program of the Wisconsin Labor History Society.
The Almanac Trail tour will be in Madison for a similar concert on Friday, Aug. 9; 7:30 p.m. at the Madison Labor Temple.

thank you for share!

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of unique content I've either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being ripped off? I'd genuinely appreciate it.

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
