COURAGEOUS WOMEN WORLDWIDE FIGHTING FOR CHANGE: The strength and perseverance of the women of Liberia
Doors @4pm
Cover FREE SHOW

This evening will feature the film - Pray the Devil Back to Hell chronicles the remarkable story of the courageous Liberian women who came together to end a bloody civil war and bring peace to their shattered country.

Thousands of women — ordinary mothers, grandmothers, aunts and daughters, both Christian and Muslim — came together to pray for peace and then staged a silent protest outside of the Presidential Palace. Armed only with white T-shirts and the courage of their convictions, they demanded a resolution to the country’s civil war. Their actions were a critical element in bringing about a agreement during the stalled peace talks.

A story of sacrifice, unity and transcendence, Pray the Devil Back to Hell honors the strength and perseverance of the women of Liberia. Inspiring, uplifting, and most of all motivating, it is a compelling testimony of how grassroots activism can alter the history of nations.

We will discuss the importance of educating ourselves about this remarkable story and the connections between the United States and Liberia. This gathering is a pre-event to a study abroad by local women in Atlanta in May 2010. Following the film there will be a dialogue and an opportunity to share with each other.

Slim Chance and the Convicts and Yarn
Doors @8pm

Slim Chance and the Convicts

Formed in Atlanta GA in 1986, Slim Chance & the Convicts are considered to be the Fathers of Atlanta's Redneck Underground. We were the first band to play original country music (and choice covers) in the local rock and alternative music clubs, and over the years built a following that covered all walks of life. We like to think we were instrumental in making it cool to like real country music, even for the hipsters. Through several lineup changes, the band has remained true to it's original vision - to play the type of music we liked, with as much sincerity and skill as we could muster, but also with a sense of humor and fun. We are embarking on the 20th anniversary world tour this year, and as long as we are having a good time we will keep playing.

Yarn

Brooklyn might seem an odd place of origin for a country band. The perennial home of cold concrete, hipsters and industrial ruins has been most famous for its indie rock scene over the past decade. But to Blake Christiana, frontman and songwriter for Brooklyn-based Americana/Alt-Country band Yarn, it’s the place that offered not only solace from his Schenectady, NY upbringing and a place to meet other skilled musicians, but a certain anonymity perfect for a songwriter who crafts best in loneliness. For more about this group follow their links about this unique Brooklyn act.
