HRES Presents Music by Soular
Craig Wolfe Presents an Environmental Musical Journey
Join This Musical Journey with Past HRES President Craig Wolfe
Our Zoom workshop on April 27 will be, well, a little unusual. In our youth, one way we were inspired to care about the Earth was through music. Our own Craig Wolfe was so inspired that he wrote music for his 5-piece band Amdahl Wolfe in the 70's.
He continued writing and playing his environmental and other tunes in his duo Soular from 2012 to the present (and sometimes a 4 piece band and studio work). Craig also became well versed in his home-grown studio to make recordings of his tunes.
So, on April 27 we will listen to and watch Craig's music videos of his own original environmental tunes, and talk with Craig and Randy Deutch, the bass player for Amdahl Wolfe and Soular.
Here are some of the titles we will see and hear: Hope Of Man, Take It Back, Joanna, You Better Worry, Book of the Heart, Solar Prayer, Please Take Your Devil, The Last Journal Entry, Stand Up, and Hang My Head Down.
Oh, and plug in your good speakers and head phones!!
