Come Together, A Gathering of Voices returns July 26 To The 443 Social Club featuring LINDA MCRAE, PENNY JO PULLUS, KAY MIRACLE & MIKE YOUNGER.

A Gathering of Voices brings a range of creative diversity that spans genres, reflecting the solidarity and creative coalition-building currently happening in the grassroots of our times. Through the lifting of our authentic voices, together we can create positive change and healing to our communities nationwide through the power of the arts. From grassroots action to wide-scale momentum, encouraged by collective activism, we can all as a whole embrace equity. Forging gender equity isn’t limited to women solely fighting the good fight, we also embrace our allies by partnering for a safer, better world. This movement is incredibly important for the social, economic, cultural, and political advancement of women building community and harmonious communications.
The artists are gathering from all parts of the country to celebrate through song and reignite our Historical Roots Museum series, which went dormant during quarantine. If we have learned one thing during the pandemic, it’s that we need the arts more than ever and people are craving healthy interaction.

Meet The Artists:

LINDA MCRAE: A Canadian-born, Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter Linda has 30 years of experience touring and teaching both nationally and internationally. A singer-songwriter musician of the old school you may think you know what Linda McRae is up to. That is until she throws you a curve with a new twist: David Bowie on Banjo?! Linda’s love of Canadian, American, and British music early on in her career resulted in multiple band configurations from roots rock to punk to folk. These bands included the platinum-selling group, Spirit of the West. Her deep contribution to the Canadian music scene resulted in her being honored as a 2016 British Columbia Entertainment Hall of Fame “Pioneer” inductee.
Linda & her husband James, work in the prison system and provide music and workshops for transforming the lives of the disenfranchised by giving them a safe place to be heard no matter their ethnic, educational or economic background.

PENNY JO PULLUS: It has been during her tenure in Austin, TX that PJ has found her musically eclectic and organic ideal, a heady, smoky combination of roots and pop styling’s that now defines her unique and soulful sound. Hers is a great big voice, a mighty twang that takes a song, whether she writes it or not, and makes it real – breathtakingly, unmistakable. As William M. Smith writes it in Rockzilla World, “Pullus’s vocal attraction lies in her ability to alternate between hellcat on a tear and the girl next door.”Sultry or snarling, Penny Jo Pullus is the real deal. “Penny Jo, who blanches at the title “chick singer,” She defies pigeonholes. Starting at the age of 18 in a punk rock band called the Natives. Rockin’ Bones, The Muddpuppies were soon to follow as alt-country favorites. Penny Jo’s Trailer Trash brought home 2 Sammy Music Awards before heading south. Pullus has stepped into her own authentic style of playing and singing with her solo project “Plain Jane” on stages with Armadillo Headquarters house band 70’s Legends and Texas Music Hall of Fame inductees, “The Greezy Wheels”, often called the Grateful Dead of Texas and alongside Grammy Award-winning “New Bohemian,” John Bush. Penny Jo stands firmly at the helm of the Independent Women’s music community as Founder of non – Profit, TeXchromosome.org, advocates for women in music, an international Radio series.

MIKE YOUNGER: Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, MIKE left home at the age of 17 and cut his teeth as a fledgling street performer in Toronto and Vancouver & New Orleans when he was “discovered” by Rodney Crowell, who then produced Mike’s debut release, Somethin’ In The Air (2000). Since that fateful turn of events, Mike has written, performed, recorded, and released an impressive body of work. His music, songwriting, and devotion to progressive causes earn him new fans worldwide. His most recent release Burning the Big top Down (2021), is the masterful result of a hard-fought battle to reclaim his lost recordings with rock legends Levon Helm and Jim Dickinson. Now Nestled in Nashville you can find him at https://mikeyounger.com/ Mike is also an environmental activist recognized by the Sierra Club.
