The song "No Chains" was written by my band, The Troubles, for Marian Price, when she was an Irish Republican political prisoner in Northern Ireland, and the other, "Bring Him Home", was written for Michael Campbell, another Irish Republican political prisoner, when he was being held in Lithuania. Both of them were freed through the efforts of activists from Ireland, the US, and around the world.

We do a lot of social injustice stuff - our own and the traditionals - in regard to our Irish causes as well as pro-Union related to our coal region and Molly Maguire music.

My alter ego hippie band, Chasing Rabbits, is fledgling so we haven't got any studio recordings of our originals yet, but here's a video of "Stand Up for Standing Rock", our newest cause.

Gotta help out where you can. Woody, Pete, & Arlo forever.
