If there was ever a time for a powerful,
loving, transformative revolution . . .
that time is NOW.
Hello, friends.
As we all continue to gear up to deliver a powerful and repeated "No!" to the ever-increasing horror show of the incoming administration, here are some things we can say "Yes!" to:
-Yes! We will be offering our Sweet Revolution Homemade Toffee & Spiced Pecans with Organic & Fair- Trade Ingredients for your holiday gift-giving! Check out the rave reviews and info below to see why folks have already been asking us. Order by midnight Sunday Dec 18th for holiday delivery.
-Yes! Our sustainable, US-made, CDs, peace tees, buttons, bumper stickers and more are available for holiday gift-giving at the prices they’ve been for the last three years! (Peace Wear prices will go up Jan 1.) Order by midnight Sunday Dec 18th for holiday delivery.
-And YES! We have a new CD just about ready for you and your holiday gift-giving! Help us fund the project by ordering Revolution Now starting Monday, Dec 12th. Order by midnight Sunday Dec 18th for holiday delivery.
We have been moved to hear from so many of you that our music is with you, helping you get through the shock of the election-gone-awry and the impending administration of war-mongerers, climate-deniers, bigots and corporate thieves. From lifting you out of Nov 9th despair or comforting you when a Muslim friend emigrated in the wake of Trump-incited Islamophobia, to energizing you on the front line at Standing Rock and firing you up for the resistance ahead. |

The time is NOW for a CD with songs you've been wanting for a while like, "Sing People Sing,""Fire in Ferguson", "Feel the Wind" and "Killing Game", plus new favorites, "Into Your Heart", "Always Loving You" and "Rock Me Ocean".
The 16 tracks on Revolution Now span the issues from Black Lives Matter to reproductive justice to the Syrian refugee crisis, in songs that range from close, a cappella harmony to a full-on funk sound.

 Sweet Revolution Homemade Toffee with Organic & Fair Trade Ingredients. Order now for the holidays! |
Somethin' Sweet in Bitter Times
"Mmmmm . . . ridiculously good!" - Alicia Z
We made 59 lbs of Sweet Revolution Homemade Toffee with Organic and Fair-Trade Ingredients and 15 lbs of Homemade Spiced Pecans, last holiday season. The spiced pecans come from a recipe that Pat first tasted at Pete & Toshi Seeger's house, one holiday season.
We make each batch and pack each gift box by hand, so you can taste the love! (It's even listed in our ingredients.) |

Here’s what Deb M. had to say about the toffee:
"I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that your chocolate arrived and has been tickling my sweet tooth all week. It tastes fabulous...and I admit I have not shared a morsel with any of my employees :) nor do I feel guilty - as of yet.
Who knew it would take a woman in a song writing work shop telling me to go check out "Swimming to the Other Side" to get some of the best chocolate ever. Thanks for sending it!"
Order by the midnight Sun Dec 18th and these delicious treats
will be sent in a gift box to you or your giftee. |
Shop Your Conscience
Send peace and hope this holiday season and shop your conscience!

And on the sustainability side . .
Our songs are US-made and our cds are recorded and manufactured here using Zero Carbon Footprint CD packaging. (Among other sustainable elements, the 100%-Recycled-Bottle-Tray-CDs "keeps 400 liter-sized water bottles out of landfills or incinerators.")
We are a small (but, mighty) business: two touring musicians (doing our own booking, plus wearing many other hats), a part-time assistant (Gretchen), a part-time promotion woman (Susan) and soon-to-be a booking agent (Lisa)! We are committed to sustainable practices including fair wages for employees, using recycled paper, supplies, etc. and driving a hybrid car to reduce our carbon footprint.
In this Season of Peace--and might we add, Sustainability--thanks for sharing our music & our peace wear with your community! Your purchases help us make it through the holiday season and winter months, when we have fewer performances. |
