'Rebel Voices' at Arlington Heights museum April 28
The Arlington Heights Historical Museum will present the musical program "Rebel Voices: Songs of a Revolution" by Bucky Halker, at 6 p.m. Saturday, April 28, at the Arlington Heights Historical Museum, 110 W Fremont St.
Since the American Revolution, America has produced a wealth of notable protest songwriters whose work has captured the hearts and minds of millions of citizens. Songs calling for armed rebellion against the British, women's rights, the end to slavery, unions for all workers, and the end to the nuclear arms race have enjoyed large audiences willing to sing along.
Halker, a musician and labor historian, combines musical performance and commentary in a special program of songs by Joe Hill, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen.
Tickets are $5. For reservations, call the museum at (847) 255-1225 or go online and register at https://apm.activecommunities.com/ahpd. Tickets also will be available at the door.
