This will be a concert in the usual way, but, on this night we are gonna try something a little different, in that we will also be have a reading by San Francisco Author, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz! Roxanne is originally from Oklahoma and is well loved by well-read, more liberal-leaning,socially aware and conscious, intelligent Okies (yes, there are some!) Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz is an American academic, educator, feminist activist, and writer. She earned her Ph.D in History from UCLA in 1974. In the 1960s and 1970s, she was active in the anti-Vietnam War and radical left movements and worked closely with the SDS, the Weather Underground, and the African National Congress. She was also very active in the women's rights movement, and from 1968–1970 was a leading figure, along with Maureen Maynes, Dana Densmore and Betsy Warrior, in the radical feminist group, Cell 16. Roxy Amanda Dunbar was born in San Antonio, Texas, and is of partial American Indian background. She spent most of her youth growing up in the rural community of Piedmont, Oklahoma. Dunbar-Ortiz's grandfather was an organizer for the Industrial Workers of the World, and for the Oklahoma Socialist Party during its brief era of success, between the beginning of statehood in 1907 and its repression following the Green Corn Rebellion of 1917. [citation needed] In addition to many scholarly books and articles, she has published three memoirs, Red Dirt: Growing Up Okie (1997); Outlaw Woman: A Memoir of the War Years, 1960–1975 (2002); and Blood on the Border (2005), which is about what she saw during the Nicaraguan Contra war against the Sandinistas in the 1980s. Her writing has also appeared in Monthly Review and The Nation, and on the CounterPunch website. She is presently Professor Emerita of Ethnic Studies at California State University, Hayward.

About Our Series:
Feuerborn House Concerts was born when Forest Sun and Elam Blackman asked us to host a house concert for them last summer. We were aquainted through The Blue Moon on Paseo, a small music venue we owned for a year and a half in The Paseo Arts District. We had a gas that evening and I could see why it was becoming a happening thing! We decided we wanted to do it again and again!

We have always loved music and musicians and entertaining, and house concerts are just right up our alley! It is such an awesome, comfortable and intimate way of experiencing the music.

We have a 12x24(living room) + 12x20(dining room) + the large deck outside makes it even roomier on pretty nights!
