Covid-19 policy (subject to change as conditions evolve):
Required: Mask (we will provide one if you don't have one)
Strongly Recommended: Everyone should be fully vaccinated, boosted, and recently tested.
Risk Statement:
While no one precaution is guaranteed to prevent covid infection, a combination of precautions will contribute greatly to everyone's
safety at the PVC. Although we expect that people who have symptoms of covid will stay home, we recognize that there are still
risks when entering any public space. The PVC is therefore taking the follow steps:
We offer KN95 or other high quality masks to everyone entering.
We use three HEPA air purifiers within the Assembly Hall.
We have suspended the sale of food or drink, and there should be no eating on the premises.
We limit total attendance to 70 persons.
We offer livestream shows whenever possible.
Help Save the Peoples' Voice Cafe!
A recent cybertheft has left PVC without resources.
Can you help out?

Bonnie & Dan Milner
Dan Milner, born into an Irish family, first heard traditional ballads sung by his father, William Milner
of Birmingham, England. At the age of 16, he was introduced to maritime songs by his elder brother, Liam Milner.
Dan lived in three countries--England, Ireland, and Canada--before moving to New York. He has sung at many major
festivals in Europe and America, and has made five CDs, including the Indie-nominated Irish Pirate Ballads
(Smithsonian Folkways, 2009). His latest book is The Unstoppable Irish: Songs and Integration of the New York Irish
(Notre Dame Press, 2019).
stjohns.digication.com/danmilner
Native New Englander Bonnie Milner has been singing all her life, most notably as a member of the highly
acclaimed all-woman maritime group, The Johnson Girls, and with her husband, Dan Milner. Bonnie's specialty in
maritime songs was sparked by hearing shanties sung at South Street Seaport and Mystic Seaport museums, and
carried further by her acquaintance with the last working tall-ship shantyman, Stan Hugill, who exhorted her to
"keep these ditties alive." She took him at his word by putting together presentations on maritime music for
audiences of all ages throughout North America and Europe.

Rubén González & Handmade
Argentine singer songwriter troubadour Rubén González & Handmade's music is a journey crossing borders between distant
places and
spaces: South and North America, politics and poetry, pain and humor. The lyrics reflect
social observations and traditional tales, while the music echoes a vast set of influences from Latin American rhythms and genres,
to jazz and rock. The music has a "hand-made" feeling that draws audiences into a communal music-making experience.

PVC Solidarity Statement Against Racism
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.
