WoodSongs: Activism & A Cappella

SI KAHN makes a return visit to the WoodSongs stage this Monday.

Aside from being a brilliant songwriter, he has worked for over 40 years as a civil rights labor, and community organizer, and musician in the Southern United States.
His songs of family, community, work and freedom such as "Aragon Mill" "Gone, Gonna Rise Again" and "Wild Rose of the Mountain" have been recorded by over 100 artists. Si has released 14 albums of his original songs, plus a collection of traditional labor, civil rights, and women's songs, with Pete Seeger and Jane Sapp. His latest CD is "Thanksgiving."

MAURA O'CONNELL is a wonderful, interpretive singer. She returns to WoodSongs to introduce her latest CD project where her voice takes center stage. This Grammy nominated singer spent nearly two years working on a project she's been wanting to do for a very long time. The result is Naked With Friends, O'Connell's first acappella album, which will be released by Sugar Hill Records.
Born and raised in County Clare, Ireland, she was the third of four singing sisters. She will be performing on WoodSongs solo ... Just her voice ... No instrumentation. Get ready for something very special!!!! www.mauraoconnell.com
