We are bringing back America's great protest songs to inspire a new generation to create popular art out of anger, defiance, and the fight for liberty. Songs like Barry McGuire's "The Eve of Destruction," plus the classic protest songs of Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, U2, and, of course, protest songs from musical theater! This special concert on Inauguration Day will feature a "A Great Wall...of Sound" by a wide variety of extraordinarily talented stars gathered by impresario Scott Siegel who will produce, write, and host this night when we come together in song, as we once did in the past...

This show is intended as an upbeat, inspirational evening that sets the tone -- and a high bar -- for effective, entertaining, convincing, and artful protest songs. It's a reminder of what the art form has been and what it can be again, hopefully inspiring a means and manner by which today's songwriters and singers can literally add their voices toward the direction of a better, more humane future.
