I got an email the other day about this upcoming tour. It doesn't look like I'll be able to make it to any of the shows unfortunately. The tour supports an important cause though and it's great of these guys to bring attention to it. From Yim Yames' website:
"Yim Yames, singer-songwriter Daniel Martin Moore and genre-bending cellist and vocalist Ben Sollee will embark on a nine date Appalachian Voices tour in an effort to raise public awareness of the devastating practice of Mountaintop Removal coal mining throughout Appalachia. A portion of the proceeds from the tour will benefit Appalachian Voices, for which the tour was named, an organization devoted to ending mountaintop removal coal mining together with diverse environmental problems impacting the central and southern Appalachian Mountains."
Check out the shows if you can. If not, check out the link below and learn about Mountaintop Removal Mining.
