MICHAEL FRANTI & SPEARHEAD (at Shelburne Museum)http://www.spearheadvibrations.com/: Michael Franti is the creator and driving force behind Michael Franti & Spearhead, a band that blends hip hop with a variety of other styles including funk, reggae, jazz, folk, and rock. He is also an outspoken supporter for a wide spectrum of peace and social justice issues. Franti masterfully channels his seriousness, social unease, and desire for change and merges them with his love for music, particularly old-school R&B, soul, and hip hop. Through Spearhead, Franti’s embracement of the genres that have inspired him is achieved with eloquence.

Bread & Puppethttp://www.breadandpuppet.org/: The Bread & Puppet Theater is one of the oldest non-profit, self- supporting theatrical companies in the U.S. The theater has been enacting its radical utopian vision in cardboard and cloth for over forty years, from the spectacle of its larger-than-life puppets at Vietnam War protests in New York City to the pageantry of its long-running (over 25 years) annual event, “Our Domestic Resurrection Circus” in Glover, Vermont. The latter event regularly attracted audiences in the tens of thousands up to the late 1990’s. Author and NPR commentator Andrei Codrescu has praised “the genius of Peter Schumann [artistic director], the prodigious puppet-God,” writing “the Bread & Puppet Theater has been so long a part of America's conscious struggle for our better selves, that it has become, paradoxically, a fixture of our subconscious.”
