Anarcho-feminist folksinger-songwriter Holly GoAnarchy will make her debut appearance at the Peoples' Voice Cafe in New York City on Saturday evening, March 10, 2007. Sharing the bill with her will be Steve Suffet, a long time Peoples' Voice Cafe performer, who will be returning to celebrate the release of his newest CD, I've Been Up On the Mountain.

Holly GoAnarchy, whose birth name is Holley Anderson, co-founded the Vox Pop coffee house in in the Ditmas Park section of Brooklyn along with her sometimes ex-husband Sander Hicks. After a brief sojourn to the Mid-Hudson Valley, Holly returned to Ditmas Park, where she now lives in a wonderful old house with a group of friends and their young children, including her own two-year old son Coleman, who is a rather gifted interpretive dancer. Holly likes to deal with her own intensity and constant hard learning with a bit of humor, because she finds it helps her survive. She produced her first CD, Why Am I Not a Lesbian?, last year and is currently working on a new album entitled Only the Good.

Steve Suffet is best described as an old fashioned folksinger. His repertoire is a mixture of railroad songs, trucker songs, cowboy songs, union songs, old time ballads, blues, ragtime, Gospel, bluegrass, topical-political songs, and whatever else tickles his fancy. He takes songs from whatever sources he wishes and then he sings them his own way, or else he writes his own songs, almost always in traditional folk styles. I've Been Up On the Mountain is Steve's second full CD. His first CD, Now the Wheel Has Turned, was released in 2005. As usual, Steve will be accompanied by musical friends from MacDougal Street Rent Party.

Now in its 28th season as New York's premier venue for progressive political music, the Peoples' Voice Cafe is located in the Workmen's Circle Building at 45 East 33rd Street, just west of Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. Doors open at 7:30 PM and the show starts promptly at 8:00 PM. Suggested admission is $12 for the general public and $9 for Peoples' Voice Cafe or Workmen's Circle members. TDF vouchers are accepted, and no one will be turned away for lack of money. Light refreshments, including home baked snacks, will be available.
