Join us at the Internationalist for a night of passionate acoustic ballads from Jessie Williams and William Blackart!

Jessie Williams hails from Oakland, California, strumming earnest, politically articulate folk and country tunes. Jessie's ballads, following in the footsteps of Bob Dylan, spin stories of ramblers and ne'er-do-wells struggling to light a flame of inspiration amidst the alienation of modern life. Tune in at http://www.myspace.com/TheSuburbanRevolt.

William Blackart brings a haunting, desolate sincerity to his scratchy-throated acoustic ballads. An Arkansas native, Blackart injects a southern folk-punk twist into territory explored by lo-fi country, Chuck Ragan, Lucero, and Bruce Springsteen on his album Nebraska.
