À propos de ce contenu audio
Before protest music filled stadiums, there was a small club on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles where traditional songs were being transformed into something sharper.
In this episode of Echoes from the Ash Grove, we revisit Ed Pearl’s return to the airwaves on Up From the Ash Grove and explore how the club became more than a venue. It was a sanctuary, a classroom, and eventually a staging ground for resistance.
From Appalachian miners like Roscoe Holcomb to the Georgia Sea Islanders, from the preservation work of the New Lost City Ramblers to the radical activism of Barbara Dane, we trace how songs born in labor and struggle were recontextualized in the anti-war movement of the late 1960s.
How does a blues lament become a protest anthem?
How does a folk club become two years ahead of its time?
And what does it mean when history survives only because someone could afford tape?
Echoes from the Ash Grove reconstructs the conversations and cultural currents that once flowed through one of America’s most important music rooms — and asks where that energy lives today.
