Songs for a Small Planet Festival
Rock Barra Artist Retreat is delighted to be presenting our first annual Songs for a Small Planet Festival on August 20th and 21st!
Songs for a Small Planet is an international songwriting collective started in P.E.I. and focused on climate activism and promoting environmental sustainability and social justice through the power of original music. This first festival will be filled with a myriad of workshops, talks, performances, a photo exhibit, film, and—to top off the weekend—the Songs for a Small Planet Songwriters Circle featuring Dennis MacKenzie, Todd MacLean, Teresa Doyle and featured performer Dennis Ellsworth.
All festival events are by donation. Sunday evening concert tickets are $20.
