“For every generation, songs of love and revolution cut deepest to the heart,” said Theatre Within Artistic Director, Joe Raiola. “They’re the songs that express some essential truth and awaken the spirit within. They’re timeless.” 

 

“I’m really looking forward to seeing which songs resonate with each artist, based on their personality and musical repertoire,” added Steve Lurie, President of Music Without Borders and Director of the Clearwater Festival. “It’s is going to be a really wonderful night.”
