Songs to Save the Edisto Finale

About this event

Ever wished you lived through the spirited protest music of the 60s? Saw Bob Dylan croon “The Times They Are A-Changin’?” Scooted your boots to Pete Seeger railing against the Vietnam War? Well, Pete Seeger has passed on and Bob Dylan won’t return our calls, but we have the next best thing: Songs to Save the Edisto, an evening of folk, indie, protest music, poetry, video art, and speakers, all dedicated to protecting the beautiful rivers and marshes of the Lowcountry from dangerous fossil fuels. Featuring: Shovels & Rope with a short acoustic set, Mechanical River, former Charleston poet laureate Marcus Amaker, the Deadleg Wobblers, the Palmetto Choral Collective Peace Choir, and more. Proceeds go towards the fight against the proposed $5 billion gas plant megaproject on the Edisto River, the pipeline through the ACE Basin to fuel it, and the data centers it would power if built. Brought to you by Charleston Climate Coalition, The M.A.R.S.H. Project, and Microdose Cooperative.
