HERE'S THE LATEST NEWS:
Julius has been dealing with some health issues that prevent him from traveling great distances. He is unsure about his ability to travel to anything other than local gigs in the future, but George will be hitting the road quite a bit this year, with screenings of the "A Union Man" film and solo gigs in support of his new solo CD, "Into the Fire," which is being released on May 1.
Also, look for the release of "A Union Man" on DVD in May!
We travel as much as time, health and economics allow. We play everything from union rallies to cafes, churches and private house parties (the house concert phenomemon continues; it's a great way to host folk musicians and have a good time with activist friends).
If you want us to come to your town, it's as easy as asking.Contact us via email: georgeandjulius@att.net
Note: Since we began performing, we have held to a belief that any person who wants to hear our work should be able to, regardless of ability to pay. We have not charged a "mandatory" admission price for any concert we've produced.

Welcome !
Hi and welcome to our web site. We come from the labor/folk tradition,and have sung for unions, churches, peace and justice groups, bars and coffeehouses, and veterans' and nursing homes since 1999. We want to keep singing for many more years, at least until Julius hits 100.
Just so you know for sure, we both believe George Bush and Dick Cheney should be impeached and jailed for their many failures and crimes against the American people and the people of Iraq.
