   About Instruments Of Peace
The Instruments of Peace CD features 14 fabulous tracks by North Carolina-area artists, including AVAS, Big Block Dodge, Cabo Verde, Steve Davidowski, Eymarel, Green Light, Hip Bones, Bruce Hornsby, Klarcnova, Chuck Lichtenberger, Branford Marsalis, Tyler Ramsey, Ruby Slippers, and Jeff Sipe. All of the artists donated their music to benefit the Raleligh-based group North Carolina Peace Action (www.ncpeaceaction.org) Drummer/producer Robin Tolleson started Instruments of Peace in 2002 as a series of concerts in western North Carolina, raising money for refugees in Iraq and Darfur, and tsunami victims. The Instruments of Peace CD features tracks by many of the bands that performed at those concerts, as well as several special guests. All of these artists were generous enough to donate their music to help raise money for North Carolina Peace Action. The CD is available through the Homegrown Music Network. Instruments of Peace CD release concerts have been held at BoBo Gallery in Asheville, West First in Hendersonville, and Smokey Joe's in Charlotte, in 2008.

We've now had 5 years of lies about 9/11, WMD's, and freedom. The real reasons were oil, profiteering, and fascism. Not just Bush, but the news media, most of congress, and all who remain silent. And now they'll use fear to quash dissent. It's nothing new -- it's been going on for ages. War, poverty, ecocide, arrogant bullying --they're all from greed and fear, which come from ignorance. ♥ But it's not too late -- we can still learn to make peace. Talk with people. Love, Eric

Happy new year North Carolina friends! This sunday I'm hopping in a minivan with my band and will be heading back to North Carolina - feels like my second home sometimes. We play Wed. Jan 16 at the Juggling Gypsy in Wilmington and Thurs. Jan 17 at the Garage at Biltmore in Asheville. We'll be playing with Christabel & The Jons. Would love to see you all there...Miss Tess
