Rock & Roll for Freedom!
Val Kinzler
Aurally Records recording artist/songwriter/rock mommy/NYC alt-rocker/educator/animal lover/music community organizer/real world influencer, the inclusive
Val Kinzler is a music warrior who unites people.
Legendary boogie-woogie singer/keyboardist Dr. John gave her the heroic name of "Valkyrie," a mythical Scandinavian warrior woman. When she was a child,
the popular classmates would ask, "Why do you want to hang out with them?" (referring to the unpopular kids). Val's mission is "to rescue war-torn heroes and
working class zeroes from the injustices of our times, and reward them with poetic immortality in Valhalla." This resonates with her work in music,
educational programs, and with "NYC Women Who Rock." Val Kinzler has released five albums. Tonight she will be accompanied
by Roger Blanc.

Songs of Freedom & Resistance Showcase with Judy Gorman + David Tarlo + Lindsey Wilson + Adele Rolider (part of The Village Trip!)
Peoples' Voice Cafe, started in 1979 by members of Songs of Freedom and Struggle, carries forward the vision of
using songs and performing arts to support the struggle for peace and justice.
All are impacted by the history and ongoing practice of systemic racism in this country and the continuing
brutal murders of Black Americans by police.
We stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, outraged by the many faces of racism found in education,
healthcare, housing, jobs, poverty, criminal justice, and voting. All must be free to move about in the
"land of the free" without suspicion, harassment, or arrest.
Peoples' Voice Cafe stands committed to speak out, sing out, and work against racism, white supremacy, and
indifference.
