Greetings:

The Peoples' Voice Cafe, New York City's premier venue for progressive political folk music, is moving to a new home at it begins its 30th season. Starting this September, it will be housed at the Community Church of New York, 40 East 35th Street, bewteen Park and Madison Avenues in Midtown Manhattan. Shows will still be Saturday starting at 8:00 PM. Doors open at 7:30. The No. 6 train (East Side local) stops just two blocks away at East 33rd Street.

Founded in 1979, the Peoples' Voice Cafe had previously been located at the Westbeth Community Center, the Washington Square Methodist Church, and, most recently, the Workmen's Circle. Among the perfomers who have appeared at the Peoples' Voice Cafe are Pete Seeger, Charlie King, Kim and Reggie Harris, Magpie, Pat Humphries, Bev Grant, Leon Rosselson, Tommy Sands, Tao Rodriguez-Seeger, Joe Jencks, Paul Kaplan, Donal Leace, Roberta Flack, Jon Fromer, and too many more to name. Mudcatter Debra Cowan (DebC) has played there, and so has yours truly.

The new 2008-2009 season will begin on September 13 with a memorial concert for Carl Schwartz, the late environmental activist. Additional information should soon be available on the Peoples' Voice Cafe website.
