Folksingers Concerned with Saving the Planet Gathering April 23 for Earthday

Folksinger Brian Gladstone is an earthy guy - that much you could figure out just by looking at the title of his debut album, Back To The Dirt, released two years ago, or from listening to his original songs when he performs live (as he did at our SpringRise 2002.1 concert at Healey's Mar. 24). You can also see it in his commitment to the upcoming third annual "Back To The Dirt for Earthday" concert, which once again he's organizing.

This year's show, at Tranzac Club on Tues. April 23, will include some of Canada's best Folk artists coming together for preservation of the natural environment. Participants include: Danny Bakan with Christopher McKhool; Rodney Brown; Nonie Crete; Daisy Debolt with Marg Stowe; Wendell Ferguson; Aengus Finnan; Howard Gladstone; Norm Hacking with Michael Katz; Michael Laderoute; Jeremy Woodland; Lynn Harrison - Madd Scientists Jim Layeux and Melwood Cutlery - Linda Saslove; Spooky Moon and Gladstone with Tony Quarrington, Maureen Brown and Bonnie Gladstone. The show starts at 7pm, cover is $12 and all proceeds go to Earthday Canada. For more info check out www.backtothedirt.com .
