Folk This! is a bridge, a connection. Through music we attempt to link the generations: the activists who came of age in the 60's and 70's and the new generation making
waves in the protest movement of today. The songs we sing come from many sources, the civil rights movement, the anti-war movement, and back even further, to the songs of
the Bolshevik Revolution and the Paris Commune, the hymns and anthems of the Industrial Workers of the World who flourished in America at the turn of the century, and the songs of
labor and anti-fascism which characterized the 1930's and 1940's. It is a great legacy which is our privilege to share with today's audiences.
"I thought I knew all the revolutionary songs there were, but these people just taught me five new ones."
-- Utah Phillips, May Day 2001
