This year, as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the beginning of the Headwaters campaign, and the 20 year anniversary of the largest\u00a0forest protection actions ever, we\u00a0thought that it would be most appropriate to\u00a0honor Greg King for dedicating\u00a0a lifetime of work\u00a0to environmental\u00a0activism. Greg\u00a0discovered Headwaters Grove, named it, and was the impetus for the Campaign to Save Headwaters Forest.\u00a0He\u00a0is now the Director at Siskiyou Land Conservancy\u00a0where he\u00a0continues\u00a0his efforts to protect\u00a0the environment\u00a0throughout the region.<\/p>\n

\"JoanneJOANNE RAND<\/a> For 30 years visionary songsmith Joanne Rand has brought her \u201cPsychedelic-Folk-Revival\u201d across the United States. Matrix Magazine calls Rand\u2019s stage presence \u201celectrifying,\u201d Portland Southeast Examiner calls her \u201cAn unforgettable force of nature,\u201d and the N.Y.Times-owned Santa Rosa PD called Rand\u2019s music \u201cNothing short of brilliant.\u201d This year Rand released her 14th CD of original songs, Still a Real World, co-produced with Stephen Hart (David Bowie, White Stripes, Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan) and featuring violinist Jenny Sheinman (David Byrne, Ani DiFranco, Norah Jones). \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"WovenWOVEN ROOTS<\/a> harmonizes rich roots reggae and dub styles from the deep wilderness of Humboldt county. Inspiration for the powerful lyrics and beats comes from living close to the earth in the beautiful woodlands of the Pacific Northwest. This young group of musical visionaries are on a quest to create original music using nature as a model of how to maintain the continuity of life on earth. Stepping away from the mainstream path of exploitative and destructive technologies of advanced industrial economies, Woven Roots seeks to use music as a vessel to spread a message of love and understanding for our planets finite resources.<\/p>\n

\"ObjectOBJECT HEAVY<\/a> is\u00a0one of our\u00a0local\u00a0bands\u00a0based out of Arcata, California.\u00a0Their music draws from the sound of soul music. Inspired by the parameters of Rock, Funk, Blues, R&B and Hip Hop, the band features Two voices which really capture their versatility with lyrics, reminding us of a world in need, a world to love and a place to be free. Their self-titled 1st album features Bill Summers, percussionist of the acclaimed \u201cHeadHunters\u201d.
