Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

This Saturday, October 11th we are happy to host a fundraiser for Arkansas Community Advocates and a Food Not Bombs Potluck ft live performances from STEPHANIE SMITTLE, WHATEVER THIS IS, and a sing a long w/ CORNBREAD & ROSES * Tickets available for $10 at www.whitewatertavern.com A native of Cave Springs, Arkansas, Stephanie Smittle is a singer and songwriter whose history of engagements includes singing ancient chant in reverberant cathedrals, composing gender-flipped murder ballads in the freak folk tradition, and premiering new art songs by living composers for the recital hall. Her self-titled debut solo album is a collection of ten songs for voice and electric autoharp, which the Arkansas Democrat Gazette called “folk rock from outer space … a stunning self-titled solo debut” from “a skilled and observant lyricist unafraid to express vulnerability and rage and wonder.” Whatever This Is consists of husband and wife duo, Matt Manges (keys) and Annie Ford (guitar); along with neighbor Garrett Zuhoski (drums). WTI's songs span from serene meditations on nature, to bombastic rock songs full of psychedelic themes and three part harmonies. If you like to listen to the same song over and over, you might not like this band. Photograph by Amber Lane

Having trouble copying the link for you, but on Gerry Hundt's Facebook page there is a fun video of Dig3 Lee doing a song in the green room at the Austin Community Tavern in Steger, IL Thursday evening.

Hey, that Dig3 Lee is at the SLIPPERY NOODLE in Indianapolis this evening!
