Mountain Resistance music: Here's to the Long Haul, Beans and Ryan Harvey of Riot Folk
Friday Nov 7, 7PM @ Red Emma's
More than a band playing both contemporary and traditional mountain music, Here's to the Long Haul is born of the historic and ongoing movements for justice in Appalachia and beyond. Just another offshoot of the deep and wandering roots of Appalachian music, fed by the waters of modern grassroots resistance to that which is wrong and the creation of that which is good in our mountains.
Ryan Harvey is one of Baltimor'e radical folk musicians, also of the Riot-Folk music collective.
Brandon, Willie and Joe first met up and played music together at the second annual Mountain
Justice Training Camp in Southern West Virginia, a gathering of folks working together to fight mountaintop removal coal mining. Several months later, Willie and Becky met and jammed at the School of the Americas protest in Columbus Georgia,
bonding not only over the music, but over fond feelings towards their mutual friend, Joe. While working down in the deep south as a campus
organizer, Willie met Kyle, a North Georgia bluegrass-picker, thus adding
the final ingredient to the mix.
