Greetings to all you new and familiar faces!  It has been years since the inception of the idea which is now coming into fruition as our 'Now the Green Blade Rises Tour'., pushing the boulder steadily up the mountain, positively intending and giving our vision form, step by step. There are still canyons to cross and heights to reach but we are exuberant to share that the debut of our Family Festival Tour is upon us. Thanks to the Mid-Atlantic Arts Council, the North American Association for Environmental Education, The Food Routes Network, The American Community Garden Association, Whole Foods and musical presenters from 6 Mid-Atlantic States, we now invite you to be a part of the beginning, our premiere series of events which will be making their way to communities in New York, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, this year. Next year, Washington DC, Virginia, and Delaware will play host to our efforts.

We've just finished a week of rehearsals in preparation for the fall touring schedule and are still basking in gratitude for a summer of goodness with memorable performances across the country, many of which can be seen on YouTube.  Oliver Craven, Adrienne Young, Jay Starling and Andre Eglevsky have fresh material and traditional song offerings to present to you so get thee out and come be a part of the show – looking forward to the downbeat.

Please join us on the web for daily updates as we move through September in preparation for all the September hoopla and make plans to join us as we celebrate the arts, education, knowledge and faith in all things good. Our show in NYC will be as a part of the annual fundraiser of the Just Food Group, the sustainable agriculture arm of the New School. More news on community events before and after September 9^th in the days ahead.  Takoma Park Middle will set the stage for the September 27^th show, as well as, workshops from sustainable living  how-tos, body-movement classes, information on natural chilbirth, breaking developments on bio-fuels and corporate greening, primitive skills classes, music, art, local farmers and community building will all be going down from 2-6pm the day of the show with the evening concert featuring the Adrienne Young Band. XM Radio will be there filming and lots of other special guests we'd love for you to get to know. Each day in September we will be featuring updates and details - please read on to learn more…thank you!
