Also present for these very special proceedings will be
representatives from the Gulf Restoration Network. Gulf Restoration Network is the only environmental advocacy group
with an exclusive focus on the Gulf of Mexico. For 17 years GRN has
worked to unite and empower people to protect and restore the health of the
Gulf region for future generations. In the wake of last year's BP
drilling disaster, GRN has been dedicated to exposing the impacts of the
disaster, holding BP and the government accountable, and ensuring that the
lessons of the disaster are learned and acted upon. Currently, GRN is
leading an initiative to allocate BP's Clean Water Act fines to restore the
coastal wetlands of the Mississippi River delta which are turning into open
water at the rate of a football field every hour, threatening the ecosystem we
rely on for our fisheries and our natural storm defenses.

Fall Bike Tour at Preservation Hall
Fall Bike Tour at Preservation Hall
Thursday, October 27 @ 10:00pm – Ben Sollee is a cellist and vocalist known
for his percussive playing style, genre hopping songwriting, wide appeal, and
political activism. His music incorporates banjo, guitar, percussion and
unusual cello techniques to create a unique mix of folk, bluegrass, jazz and
R&B. Lauded by NPR’s Morning
Edition as one of 2007’s Top Ten Unknown Artists of The Year, Sollee has since
made a name for himself both in touring and recording. “Ditch
The Van 2011” is the fourth tour of its kind in which Ben Sollee and his band
travel exclusively using bicycles as transportation, instruments and all! This
choice is not a novelty or a nod to the green trend. Apropos to his overarching
story, Sollee’s goal is to gain a deeper connection to his fans and their surrounding
communities. Join him for the
first stop on his tour of the Southeastern states.
