Hope Machine will be doing some different stuff at Clearwater this year. At Circle of Song, the particpitory stage, we'll do "Peace Songs," instead of Woody Guthrie songs. We will, however, be in the Woody Guthrie set on the Rainbow Stage, with Vanaver Caravan, Rick Nestler, and Pete Seeger... My schedule at the festival is below. In case you've never been, it is a festival to raise money for the Clearwater's missions of both facilitating education programs on and off the Clearwater and Woody Guthrie, and cleaning up the Hudson River... The festival is fun for all ages. There are 2 big stages, a Family Stage, Story Grove, Circle Of Song, Vendor/ Crafts area, and Activism area... all right on the Hudson! If you go the Clearwater Walkabout Chorus will greet you with song at the gate and you'll probably run into, and maybe sing with, the Peace Is Possible Chorus... It is a wonderful event.

12:35 to 1:50 HOPE MACHINE in Woody Guthrie Workshop with Vanaver Caravan, Pete Seeger, Rick Nestler on the Rainbow Stage
