BOCA CONCERT FEATURES: ANNE FEENEY

from Ted Parsons

Saturday, February 15, 7 p.m. “HELL RAISER” ANNE FEENEY: LIVE IN CONCERT TOGETHER WITH PINKSLIP AND RAGING GRANNIES

     Pittsburgh-based Anne Feeney performs music she says is designed to “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”  Not many women have chosen to walk the path of Woody Guthrie, but Feeney has made a career of it for the past 35 years.

     Feeney’s bottomless song-bag draws on Irish, bluegrass, traditional, labor, pop, folk and contemporary material. She’s as likely to sing a traditional song or an obscure gem by one of her many friends on the singer/songwriter circuit as she is one of her own award-winning songs. Feeney’s anthem Have You Been to Jail for Justice?  is featured on Peter, Paul and Mary’s CD In These Times, and also on Carry it On, their 5-CD boxed set. That song was also featured in Get Up/Stand Up: the History of Pop and Protest, a documentary featuring the greatest protest songs of all time, which aired nationally on PBS, as well as world-wide.

     While Feeney may prefer the excitement of rallies and demonstrations, many of her fans prefer a pepper-spray free environment to listen to the songs and stories that make up her sometimes caustic, often hilarious, always inspiring show.

 Opening for Anne Feeney will be PinkSlip, Palm Beach County's go-to progressive band. Joan and Bill have sung on sidewalks and picket lines against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, unfair labor practices and animal cruelty and  for immigration reform,  the League of Women Voters, ACLU, and Martin Luther King Day events.
