With Special Guest Eileen Jewel Former Green on Red guitarist Chuck Prophet takes the stage at 92YTribeca to celebrate the release of his new CD ¡Let Freedom Ring! out on Yep Records.
"Recorded with luminaries such as Kelley Stoltz and former E Street Band drummer Ernest 'Boom' Carter in Mexico City at the height of the swine-flu panic, ¡Let Freedom Ring! is an energized shot across the bows of the American dream. Prophet's playing and singing burns with righteous ire throughout from the Clash-like Telecaster thrusts of opener Sonny Liston's Blues to the disgusted denouement of the title track where he laments the fact that 'the hawk always cripples the dove'. Lovers of unfettered rock and roll and impassioned and politicized songwriting chops will find much to cherish." —Duncan Forgan, The Skinny (UK)
Boston-based songwriter Eileen Jewel opens the show. "Sometimes as darkly damaged as Lucinda Williams, at others as defiant and teasing as prime Peggy Lee and always authentically Americana in the Gillian Welch tradition....She's mighty good."—LA Daily News
