> George Mann is a New York-based folksinger who sings songs from the 
> last century of labor and social activism, and his own songs are 
> powerful and funny takes on the state of the nation.  He also writes 
> songs of hope, healing, struggle and triumph, and for years he 
> recorded and performed with Julius Margolin, who was 93 when he died 
> in August 2009.
> His latest CD is "Songs for Jules and Bruce," with songs dedicated to 
> and inspired by both Julius Margolin and Bruce "Utah" Phillips. He 
> also produced the "Until You Come Home" CD, which features such folk 
> legends as Tom Paxton, Utah Phillips, Holly Near, Magpie, John Gorka 
> and more singing about the experiences of war and of returning home.  
> Inspired by the book "Voices of Vets," George created this CD to help 
> welcome home our returning service members and recognize the 
> sacrifices they and their families have made for our country.
> also appearing: special guest performer Sergio Reyes of the Boston May 
> Day Committee
