\"\"<\/a>Precursor to Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen, Joe Hill was an early twentieth-century songwriter and active member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), or Wobblies. A Swedish immigrant and outspoken labor activist, Hill was framed for two murders and executed by a firing squad in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1915. According to an event press release, \u201cThe case drew international attention and appeals for clemency from U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, Helen Keller, the Swedish ambassador, the American Federation of Labor, and many others. After his execution, Hill became a labor icon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Nashville-based<\/span>\u00a0Shelby Bottom Duo<\/a>, consisting of acoustic folk artists Michael August and Nell Levin, created this entertaining and educational performance to highlight a \u201cvital slice of labor history with a wide range of people so that we can all better understand why the revolutionary creativity of Joe Hill and the Wobblies is still relevant.\u201d This event will a live concert of Joe Hill songs, a slideshow of historical images, and\u00a0storytelling\u00a0about Hill\u2019s life, early labor struggles, and the influence of the IWW\u2019s innovative organizing strategies on labor and other movements today. This one-hour performance will be followed by a discussion with the Shelby Bottom Duo about art, music, labor history, and activism.<\/span><\/p>\n

With support from the Tennessee Arts Commission, Humanities Tennessee, Metro Nashville Arts Commission, and Puffin Foundation, the Shelby Bottom Duo has performed the \u201cJoe Hill Road Show\u201d twenty-seven times for colleges, unions, and community groups.\u00a0This show is sponsored by a grant from Humanities TN.<\/span><\/p>\n
