This Summer of 2024, put on your rain gear and come to Michigan for the Rise Festival on the Land and WPI. More info and how to get tickets here: https://wwtlc.org/summer/. All the women gathering on the Land is sure to make the Sun shine, sisters! With guitars and grace, the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival lived and thrived on what is now known as "the Land", a place that continues to be a gathering spot for thousands of women every year. This month's show begins with a PSA for the FIST conference happening in San Diego, CA over 4th of July weekend. Next you'll hear the greeting from WLRN member aurora linnea who introduces the next segment, WLRN's World News, penned and delivered by our correspondent Mary O'Neill. Next, enjoy the sweet sounds of Antje Duvekot with her song Long Way before Jenna shares excerpts of an interview she did with long-time MichFest family, Donna Every. Next is the We the Women promo for that gathering happening in the Pacific Northwest this Summer over the weekend of July 20th. Then it is on to Jenna's second interview with long-time women's music documentarian, Toni Armstrong Jr. Finally, hear Sekhmet read a passage from Donna's journal that she wrote the Summer of 2016 while camped in the woods of Michigan. Thanks, as always, dear listeners, for staying tuned to feminist-powered community radio, WLRN. Please listen, like, comment and share widely.
