Peace Through Transformation

The transformation of all the people on Earth

requires each of us to participate in Peace

Peace is contagious Ð it spreads in our conversations

We need only to choose it, discuss it, believe it possible

be unreasonable for it at every turning point.

And let the practice of anger and frustration

fall to the ground to reveal the true sadness it hides.

We will not stop war when we stop those who wage it

We will stop war when we stop creating those who wage it.

The Madrid Music Festivals, the Madrid Volunteer Fire Department Association, the Madrid Cultural Projects, Inc. and the volunteers of the Township of Madrid wish to thank the following organizations for their participation and assistance in the Jazz for Peace Concert:

Dragonfly Sanctuary, Jazz for Peace, Southwest Jazz Orchestra, Santa Fe Great Big Jazz Band, Veterans for Peace - Santa Fe Chapter, Local Energy, Department of Peace Initiative, PartySmart (Northern MN DanceSafe), Los Alamos Study Group, Los Alamos Peace Project, Peace Action New Mexico, Albuquerque Center for Peace and Justice, Alternatives to Violence of Northern New Mexico, Open Arts Foundation - Santa Fe Jazz and International Music Festival, Community Bank of Santa Fe, KSFR Radio

Please join the conversation of Peace

In all forms Ð music, voice, art, mime & spirit

Summertime Stomp, August 14, 2005 - Sunday

12:00 - 7:00, $16, Featuring:

ThaMuseMeant

"...replaced with a tight, spooky focus, one that doesn't depart from the group's signature "acid-folk" sound but rather sharpens its distinction. That distinction being, of course, a gorgeously balanced melding of Aimee Curl's blood-chilling vocals, Pelta's violin punctuation, Nathan Moore's brilliant modern troubadour lyricism and David Tiller's razor-sharp mandolin pluckin'." SF Reporter

BINGO BAND

"Danceable mix of the Greatful Dead/Pink Floyd blues-rock jam band that rocked the Mineshaft Tavern and Old Schoolhouse so incredibly last year."

the "Martin Party" with Josh Martin

Solo performance from Joe West' sly honkytonk band guitarist, Sweet!
