"In his highly entertaining Tribute to Woody Guthrie, Country Joe
brings to life Woody Guthrie, his father Mac McDonald, and Joe's own
connections to Woody and the politics and music of our country's deep
and soulful tradition of class division and struggle."Review by Skip

Ticket sales will benefit California
Coalition for Women Prisoners (CCWP), a grassroots social justice
organization, with members inside and outside of prison, that
challenges the institutional violence imposed on women, transgender
people, and communities of color by the prison industrial complex
(PIC). We see the struggle for racial and gender justice as central
to dismantling the PIC and we prioritize the leadership of the
people, families, and communities most impacted in building this movement.
