Kate Boverman and Ethal Miller performing together
Peace Action Maine and the Social Action Committee of the Allen Avenue Unitarian Universalist Church will host a Peace Concert on Wednesday, March 17th, at the St. Lawrence Arts and Community Center on Congress Street in Portland. The show will begin at 7pm. Tickets cost $10.
Ethan Miller is a folksinger/songwriter, a popular educator, organizer, independent writer and researcher. Though he started writing music at 17 (in '93), it was not until 2000 — amidst the arrival of global movements against neoliberal globalization — that he truly found his voice as a songwriter and performer, bringing together his political passions with his love for music and writing. Since then, he has played at numerous events and rallies and has shared the performance stage with David Rovics, Jim Page, Charlie King and Karen Brandow.
For the past five years, Ethan has been organizing with anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian, solidarity-based movements in Maine and beyond. He now lives and works at the JED Center, a collective and community space that supports and organizes projects of radical social, economic, and ecological change at both a local and global level.
He released his first album of original music, In Times of War, available through the JED Center, in 2002.
Kate Boverman is a farmer and permaculture landscape designer, a visual artist, herbal healer, and a skilled builder and craftswoman.
Kate believes that her music comes from the Earth — her first inspiration and audience. Over the past two years, Kate has been finding her voice as a performer, singing with her partner in love and song, Ethan Miller.
Kate's musical style is a cultivated mixture of folk and soul, with a sweet tone and a wide vocal range that lends her voice a feeling of freedom. Her passion is to share songs that encourage social movement and solidarity; songs that inspire and move an audience into action.
In addition to the performance, Matt Schlobohm, an organizer with the Maine Fair Trade Campaign, member of the JED collective and volunteer with the Many & One Coalition, will address the audience. He spends most of his time building stronger movements for social, economic, environmental, and racial justice.
