Groupmuse founder and eco-spiritual bard Heavy Meadow is on the road with the world-class vibraphone player and social media sensation Chappy Milkshake to tell the world of the songs and story of Joe Hill -- the greatest bard in the history of American Labor, who was executed by the state of Utah in 1915 for a crime he didn't commit.

The bosses and the politicians thought that they could bury Joe Hill and his message of solidarity, but every time someone speaks his name, tells his story, sings his song, those bosses and politicians are proven wrong and Heavy, Chappy, and filmmaker Monty Montgomery aim to make sure that they stay wrong, as they film a documentary about this quest in service of radical remembrance.

The band is coming through Seattle, which was one of Joe Hill's stomping grounds -- so it's local history to boot!
