David HB Drake,
Julie Thompson
and Doug Esty
lead those good old songs we grew up on.
These anthems from the days of
"make love, not war " still resonate today.
.
"BLOWING IN THE WIND"
is a "mighty wind"
of classic folk music memories for
the over 50 "boomer" audience
and for younger people as well.
These are not "protest songs"...
rather it is music that affirms the
positive message that shaped our lives.
The power and honesty of these songs
span the generations.

About
Dangerous Folk….
“Dangerous Folk” was
created in 2003 when retired school principal Eldon “Cap” Lee contacted
Milwaukee folksinger David HB
Drake to create a CD giving voice to teacher concerns over the
“No Child Left Behind” legislation.
The result was “No Child Left Behind? – Bring back the Joy” which
has received national attention for the quality and honesty of the
music.
Vocalist Julie
Thompson was brought in for the recording to add a woman’s voice and
direct the children’s chorus.
The sound of David, Cap and Julie singing together lead David
to bring them along for a concert at The Coffeehouse, Wisconsin’s
longest running folk venue, where he was recreating his set list from
his first appearance there
back in 1969.
During the concert when Julie mentioned she was acting in a
production of “Most Dangerous Women”,
an audience member shouted
“You’re
Dangerous Folk- you sing songs that make people think!” and Dangerous
Folk was born.
The trio has performed at festivals, concert venues, for elders,
and community music series.
Doug Esty joined the trio on banjo, bass, and guitar
in 2013 when Cap moved on to North Carolina
The trio
carries on the tradition of folk music
once considered dangerous enough
to change people’s minds, and it has.
A half-century later, this music has become part of
the fabric of America and our national identity.
