Past Events:
“An Evening of Dangerous Songs”
Well-known New England singer-songwriter Cheryl Wheeler and Grammy-winner Bill Harley performed a benefit folk concert for the Rhode Island ACLU on Thursday, June 25, 2009. This concert brought Harley and Wheeler together for the first time ever on the same stage. Their “dangerous songs” touched on topics such as gay marriage, global warming, the religious right and freedom of speech.
The Affiliate would like to thank all the volunteers who helped make the concert a success. Thank you to Stone Soup Coffeehouse for providing the sound and lighting for our "Evening of Dangerous Songs," and to First Unitarian Church of Providence for all their help with the event.
