Joel Landy and Rachel Stone

Award winning host of cable’s Songs of Freedom Television, published in Sing Out Magazine, and heard on Pacifica radio, Joel Landy is known for creative and energetic performances in coffeehouses and at demonstrations throughout the country, his voice and writing remind many of a young Phil Ochs. Joel brings a new CD, Songs from the Battlefield, and his old attitude to this PVC performance.

From satiric and witty to passionately deep, Rachel Stone’s lyric-intensive topical songs transcend the musical boundaries of cabaret, Broadway and folk. Rachel began songwriting to cope with the trauma of reaching midlife, and then to cope with political & social issues. Her musical revue, Coping Mechanisms, debuted in 2003. Songs from her 2004 Strictly Political CD were used in Jaz Dorsey’s Fun in the White House revue in Nashville, and she was awarded a UUWA Creative Arts Award for her songs and performances on women’s issues. She is also producer/host of Community Cabaret in midtown NYC.
