Laborfest 2017 Presents: Songs for the Resistance- Joe Uehlein.
Joe Uehlein has sung on hundreds of picket lines, in union halls, at union educational conferences and conventions, and in all of DC's finest venues. His deep roots in the labor and environmental movements make the theme of this show -- "Songs for the Resistance" -- a natural for him. Joe's new CD, Sweet Lorain, named for the city in Ohio where his story starts, is a true concept album: ten new originals and two covers, all songs that have something to say about the world around us. Now celebrating a half-century in the American Federation of Musicians, Joe has lived his life at the confluence of art and activism, performing with Billy Bragg, Tom Morello, Pete Seeger, Steve Earle, Lester Chambers, and more.
