Acoustic Folk

Based in Pittsburgh, PA, Anne Feeney is the granddaughter of an intrepid mineworkers' organizer, who also used music to carry the message of solidarity to working people. After two decades of community activism and regional performances at rallies, Anne took her message on the road. Since 1991 Anne has traveled to the frontlines in 40 states, Canada, Mexico, Ireland and Sweden. Her anthem Have You Been to Jail for Justice? is being performed by Peter, Paul and Mary. Dubbed the "minister of culture" to the movements for economic and social justice and human rights, Anne is "the best labor singer in North America" according to Utah Phillips.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I'm on the road constantly. I spend a couple of months every year touring in Europe... so far mostly Sweden and Denmark... and by the end of most years I've visited 38 or so states in the US and 2 or 3 or 4 Canadian provinces as well.
Your musical influences
John Ashcroft, George W Bush, Henry Kissinger, Charles Hurwitz, Martha Stewart
What equipment do you use?
1968 Martin D-28, bought new in 1969 for $400 (included tax & hard shell case....)
