On October 18, The Eleven at Lark Hall is set to host the event, Songs of Change: A Protest Music Celebration. Spearheaded by Eddies Award-winning jam-band, Tops of Trees, the event will run from noon to 4 p.m.
The purpose of this event is to help get out the vote for the upcoming midterm elections and to promote groups in the community dedicated to effecting political change. The musical performances of the event will honor the rich history of protest music that has permeated our culture for decades.

This event is to celebrate those songs and musicians in our long history that have inspired that progress and to highlight the groups in our community today who are doing the work.” ~Damian Ubriaco, Tops of Trees
