A trio of twenty-somethings, switching instruments almost as often as we switch songs. An organized chaos that (hopefully) brings to mind long nights at back tables in Nova Scotia, or early mornings out on the trail.
We met working for GreenPeace and through the Chicago Theatre scene. Not that a sense of theatricality or a concern for the environment sneaks into our music at any point. No siree!
We play Irish drinking songs, American coal songs, English whaling songs, and really, any other song we want to play and you want to hear (though we don’t support whaling in this day and age, and would really love to see some alternative energy solutions). We’ve been known to sing "Wonderwall" back to back with "Come out Ye Black and Tans," and not miss a beat. We’re also the folks playing old sea shantys down in the Loop subway stations. Say hi if you see us!
Drop us an email at ThreeSpyingSoldiers@Gmail.com for booking, etc---we do parties, bars, clubs, campfire nights, and living-rooms just like yours.
I'll be in Evanston/Wilmette for LilFest (myspace. com/lilfest) in a couple of weeks. I start the whole thing off with a show at Bills Blues on 9/11. Chicago's Michi will be my violin. Hope to see you and your friends there.
The Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex covers more than 1.5 million acres. This is a Delaware-sized chunk of wild land in Western Montana home to grizzlies, eagles, mountain goats, and much, much more.
Big Salmon Lake
Protected as the crown jewel of America's National Wilderness Preservation System, "the Bob" serves as the prototype for all of the nation's 702 wilderness areas. Yet this priceless area is degrading. A recent Wilderness Watch analysis of 20 years of Forest Service monitoring data documented a chronic decline in wilderness values in the area. We will use our analysis to educate managers, interest groups, and members of Congress on conditions within the Bob Marshall Wilderness.
Our goal with this is to prevent degradation of the wilderness character of the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex. The management of wilderness in the Northern Rockies often sets the tone for the rest of the nation. In fact, “the Bob” is known as “the flagship wilderness” for that reason. As such, weakening wilderness standards here reverberates through the whole of the National Wilderness Preservation System.
