Musicians, The Solidarity Singers have been performing rousing songs of social protest for decades throughout the Capital District -- at Labor Day picnics, peace movement meetings, union picket lines, political demonstrations, and other gatherings.  Although the membership and instruments have changed somewhat over the years, the group is still motivated by the belief that good social movements, like good lives, need good music.
We hope to see you! Bring friends!
