Musical Performance
Anne Feeney’s anthem
“Have You Been to Jail for
Justice?” has been performed
by activists everywhere,
including Peter, Paul and
Mary. Dubbed the “minister
of culture” to the movements for economic and social
justice and human rights, Anne is “the best labor
singer in North America” by the late, great Utah
Phillips. Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul and Mary) said,
“Anne is a role model for us – she has lived her
songs.” And the late Pete Seeger said, “fine
songwriting, Anne!” In 2005, Anne received the Joe
Hill Award from the Labor Heritage Foundation in
Washington, DC. Past recipients include Cesar
Chavez, Pete Seeger, Faith Petric and Hazel Dickens.
Her critically acclaimed recordings are widely
available.
Joan Friedenberg, Ph.D., is a
30-year professor of education
and author, and Bill Bowen is
a 35-year journalist, including
23 years at The Palm Beach
Post. Both overlapped their
careers with a penchant for performing music — Joan
(keyboard, guitar, autoharp, harmony
arranger/vocalist), a classically trained musician, has
played and sung in several bands and choruses in
New York, Illinois and Florida, and Bill (guitar,
harmonica, banjo, vocals) has busked in bars from
Jupiter to Key West. They formed the PinkSlip Duo
(www.pinkslipband.com) eight years ago after leaving
their jobs and can be seen on South Florida stages
performing their popular multi-media sing-along
programs, as well as on the streets supporting causes
they believe in. In 2015, PinkSlip was named Best
Folk Band for Broward and Palm Beach counties by
New Times.
