  • Singer, Songwriter and Live Phenom Bob Malone Explores Emotional Depths and Grown-Up Themes with Moving New Set, Good People
    SINGER, SONGWRITER AND LIVE PHENOM BOB MALONE EXPLORES EMOTIONAL DEPTHS AND GROWN-UP THEMES WITH MOVING NEW SET, GOOD PEOPLE Los Angeles, CA (March 8, 2021)—Few creatives have had as much of a rounded experience in the music world as Bob Malone, who has distinguished himself as an instrumentalist, songwriter, composer, live performer, and elite session musician for more than two decades. Malone is now showing off his talents as a solo artist on his latest set Good People, out on May 21. Described by Malone as a project to explore “the loss, burnout, alienation, existential dread and fleeting moments of hopefulness I happened to be going through - in spite of the carefully curated self I presented to the world on social media. Nothing new, of course, but in 2020 those feelings suddenly became more universal than they’d ever been in my lifetime.” Good People grabs onto Malone’s “keyboard wizardry” on the piano and serves up a variety of bluesy rock--ranging from contemplative ballads to all-out sweeping jams, all carried along by smoky vocals and Malone’s unmatched ability to wrest every drop of emotion out of the keys possible. Malone introduced fans to the set with the title track, a song of inspiration perfect for these uncertain times, which builds from a quiet melody to a soaring harmonic choir of voices (including his own wife, Karen Nash, for whom the song is written). The follow-up single, “My Friends & I,” released Feb. 26, invites a slightly darker mood with a somber reflection on finding one’s tribe, only to have to eventually say goodbye.

    September 2015 www.folkproject.org Let's Sing in the Street! Bring your instrument, your voice, or just your cheery self to the Bloomfield Harvestfest. The Folk Project will have a booth on Sunday, September 27, from 11am to 6pm. Music will be continuous, as long as we have folks to folk out. We're part of the Ecofest, sponsored by Greener Bloomfield, a non-profit group promoting sustainable living at the local level. The fest will stretch from Bloomfield Ave. to Belleville Ave. on Broad Street. If you'd like to play music, just show up, or call Dave Kleiner at 973/429-0288, or email [email protected]. We can use some additional volunteers to set up, break down, and populate the booth through- out the day. Please contact Pat Brangs at [email protected] to help in the booth. Last year we had a great time. Come help promote the Folk Project and welcome autumn with music. Help Spread the Word The Folk Project Publicity Committee is looking for a few new volunteers to help get the word out about our activities. Each month around the 10th, volunteers receive an email packet of press information (releases, articles, and photos) to be forwarded to a few media outlets or used to enter our information on calendar websites. Each committee member "owns" a small group of outlets to which they reach out each month. Occasionally, there are extra releases about events (such as special concerts) that are outside the normal cycle but this is rare. The Publicity Committee is focused on keeping each member's level of effort consistently light so the work never becomes a burden.

  • And Type the TITLE of YOUR WORK in All Caps
    A NEW WAY OF LIVING TOGETHER: A HISTORY OF ATLANTA’S HIP COMMUNITY, 1965-1973 by CHRISTOPHER ALLEN HUFF (Under the Direction of Robert A. Pratt) ABSTRACT This dissertation discusses the history of Atlanta’s hip community, a complex grouping of radicals, hippies, antiwar supporters, underground journalists, street people, college activists and progressive social workers that existed from the mid-1960s until the first years of the 1970s. This project explores how a true community developed in the face of the region’s staunch social and political conservatism. While college administrators cautiously tolerated student activists, city officials attempted to rid the city of the hip district, the “Strip,” that developed in Midtown. This opposition, combined with a shared belief that a new nation needed to emerge out of the racism of the Jim Crow South, the destruction of the Vietnam War and the conformity of suburban Cold War America, created a communal identity which manifested itself in student movements, an underground newspaper, a diverse antiwar movement and a belief that parts of Atlanta belonged to hips. Developing slowly in the years after 1965, the hip community experienced its zenith from 1968 to 1970 when thousands of people demonstrated against the Vietnam War, moved into the Strip, and came together in multiple ways to solve their own problems in their own way. The introduction of heroin and other hard drugs along with an increase in the Strip’s population of addicts, vulnerable runaways and bikers threatened the recently achieved successes in Midtown, leading hips, private social service agencies, and local churches to work together at solving these problems.

  • Bob Malone Bio 2020
    Bob Malone Biography BOB MALONE has toured the world as a solo artist for over two decades and has played keyboards with rock legend John Fogerty since 2011. He is also a busy session player, and is featured on the 2017 Ringo Starr record “Give More Love.” His recording of “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” was the theme in the Illumination/ Universal movie trailers for The Grinch, heard by millions on YouTube and in theaters. Bob combines unforgettable songwriting with a one-of-a-kind hybrid of rock, blues, and New Orleans R&B, delivered with high-energy piano virtuosity and a voice all his own. Born and raised in New Jersey, and based in Los Angeles, Bob tours extensively as a solo act - including sets at Umbria Jazz Festival (ITALY), HB Town Music Festival (CHINA) Glastonbury Music Festival (UK), Colne Blues Festival (UK), Long Beach Bayou Fest (US), Falcon Ridge Folk Fest (US), and Blue Mountains Music Fest (AU). He’s been featured twice at WWOZ Piano Night in New Orleans, and has opened for Boz Scaggs, The Neville Brothers, Rev. Al Green, Dr. John, and many others. As a member of John Fogerty’s band, he’s played New Orleans JazzFest, Byron Bay Blues Festival (AU), Bospop (NL), Radio City Music Hall, and The Hollywood Bowl, appeared on Good Morning America and The View, and has been onstage or in the studio with Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, Jackson Browne, Billy Gibbons, Jimmy Buffett, and Allen Toussaint. Malone’s 2015 album, Mojo Deluxe, went to #1 on the Independent British Blues Broadcasters (IBBA) radio chart, was one of the top 100 most played CDs on the Roots Music Report radio charts, and top 15 on the Relix/Jambands charts.

SLOUCHING TOWARDS ATLANTA: THE INFLUENCE OF CHURCHES ON ATLANTA’S HIPPIE COMMUNITY by TIMOTHY COLE HALE Under the Direction of John McMillian, PhD ABSTRACT This thesis discusses how local churches and church groups shaped Atlanta’s hippie community during the late-1960s through the early-1970s. The Atlanta Friends Meeting participated in protests and draft counseling, which resonated with the city’s hippies, who in turn influenced some Quakers to adopt hippie dress and to create communal homes. Meanwhile, Harcourt “Harky” Klinefelter formed the Ministry to the Street People, which provided aid to the city’s youth who fell victim to the negative side effects of the Sixties counterculture. In working with the city’s youth, Klinefelter bore witness to the unsanitary conditions of the city’s jail, causing him to lead efforts to have it cleaned. Lastly, a coffeehouse operated by a Methodist minister is detailed that held weekly church services and organized social projects.
