The event will take place on Friday, August 22, 2008 at the classic Crest Theater. Musical guests include Maria Muldaur & The Free Radicals with special guests: Tracy Nelson, Holly Near, and Linda Tillery & The Cultural Heritage Choir. Yes We Can: Songs of Peace and Change is an all-star night of some of America’s greatest women vocalists singing songs by America’s best songwriters. Funky and uplifting, this annual fundraiser for Francis House will rock the house.
Since 1970, Francis House has been the Sacramento-based resource center for thousands who are suffering from poverty in body, mind and spirit.

Says Muldaur, ‘As Pete Seeger says, ‘If you love your country you’ll find ways to speak up for what is right. Singing the right songs is the way to start.’
