The Flames of Discontent
Led by Labor organizer/musician John Pietaro's voice and electrified 5-string banjo, in collaboration with Laurie Towers electric bass guitars, the Flames of Discontent play music that reinvigorates the protest song. New and daring arrangements of Guthrie, Seeger, Ochs, Leadbelly, Hill, Cunningham, Chaplin, T-Bone Slim, Brecht, Weill, Eisler and others, plus original music, spoken word pieces and free improvisations. The Flames' specialty is in reconstructing classic songs of protest, Labor and social change into works that reflect various strains of rock and the more standard folk sounds with touches of rockabilly, punk, world and roots musics to rekindle radicalism at a time when its needed most.
