Coventry, RI: May 1st, 2006—The organizers of the 5th Annual RI Sustainable Living Festival & Clean Energy Expo are a little more seasoned, a little more savvy and—given skyrocketing energy prices and public confidence in the existence of global warming—a little more confident of the resonance of their cause. This year’s musical line up is sure to get your feet tapping, featuring avant rock trio The Slip, the elegant and electric Erin McKeown, the eclectic Alec K. Redfearn & the Eyesores, folk giant Tracy Grammer and a group of Ponagansett High School musicians known as Protium who will be playing fuel cell powered (and exhilaratingly good) rock and roll. But
wait, there’s more! A second stage, new this year, will
feature Becky Chace, voted best female vocalist 5 times
by the Providence Phoenix, avant soul diva Kristi Martel,
and other rising stars in the RI Songwriters Association
(RISA) community. A full musical line-up for both stages
is available at www.livingfest.org. With a roster of 40 workshops from regional experts and leaders, a musical line-up of consummate performers, an action packed children’s program, more than 80 vendors, exhibitors, artists, storytellers, puppetry and even a few surprises, the Sustainable Living Festival makes this “cause worth fighting for” much less of a fight. “We feel life improves when you move towards solutions like harnessing sun and wind energy and eating food that is locally and organically grown,” explains Bradley Grove Hyson, Apeiron’s Executive Director and the visionary force behind the Festival. “You begin to have hope again that we can restore health and social connection within our communities and the systems that sustain us. On June 3rd, the music is the message.” Join the hip and homegrown talents that are scheduled to perform and thousands of other supporters at the Sustainable Living Festival on Saturday, June 3rd, from 11 to 8, rain or shine. Tickets can be purchased at www.livingfest.org, at the Garden Grille on East Avenue at the Providence/Pawtucket line, or call 401-397-3430 fore more information. Here’s to a more enLIGHTened future! ### For Immediate ReleaseJune 3rd Festival Offers Rhode Islanders Much Needed Options for a Clean Energy Future and A Lot More
