Charlie King’s witty political satire and his uncanny ability to find endearing songs about struggle and the human experience are a natural fit with Annie and Colleen’s own performing and sing-along work. Charlie and Annie have often recorded & performed together, including on the 2017 CD “Life & Love, Tears & Laughter” and their 2019 joint live album “Step by Step”. Charlie is a beloved, nationally known activist, satirist, and musical storyteller. Pete Seeger hailed him as “One of the finest singers and songwriters of our time.” He sings and writes passionately about the extraordinary lives of ordinary people and has been at the heart of American folk music for over half a century. He is the 2017 Phil Ochs Award, in recognition of his music and activism for social and political justice in the spirit of Phil Ochs.

Annie Patterson is the co-creator of Rise Up Singing and the 2015 sequel Rise Again. She is an accomplished performer of traditional Appalachian & Celtic music as well as singer-songwriter material that touches on a wide range of issues facing our world today. She has performed and led music retreats at folk festivals, coffee houses, schools and camps throughout North America, New Zealand, the Netherlands and the British Isles, accompanying herself on banjo, guitar & mandolin.

Colleen Kattau is a bilingual performer whose music expresses a loving, spirited presence with a voice that soothes and haunts with its range and clarity. Her music celebrates the working folk of this country, sings down militarism, and “sings clear” for renewable energy. She recently won a songwriting award for her anthem I Will Rise at the Great Labor Arts Exchange, Silver Spring MD.
