Richard Shindell lives as both an immigrant and emigrant, crossing thresholds, that informs his illumination of the human experience through narrative song. Shindell has inhabited a Zen Buddhist monastery and busked in the streets of Paris.
Originally from New York, now living in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, juxtapose ideas and images, inhabit characters, vividly evoking entire worlds along the way and expanding our sense of just what it is a song may be. Meticulously recorded over three years in New York and Buenos Aires, his most recent release, Careless, offered an ambitious, luxurious, full- length statement. Shindell immersed himself in the studio, allowing the time and latitude to explore, experiment, take risks—to play as each of these eleven songs was given form and substance. While his signature acoustic guitar style is used to good effect, Careless also found Shindell plugging in more.
North Carolina singer-songwriter Jess Klein performs her Americana/folk-rock originals with a “voice of unblinking tenacity” (New York Times).&nbsp; Her acoustic-driven, hook-laden story songs revel in the polychrome of human experience – joy, rage, sensuality and resilience. Hailed as “a major talent” (Billboard),&nbsp; Jess has appeared on Good Morning America and NPR’s All Things Considered, performed at the Newport, Winnipeg, Falcon Ridge and Philadelphia Folk Festivals, and shared stages with&nbsp; Arlo Guthrie, Josh Ritter, Ani DiFranco, Steve Earle and Alejandro Escovedo.&nbsp; Jess’s live shows are known for their intimate and soulful atmosphere; her emotive vocals and poignant storytelling invite her fans on a journey through themes of love, loss, and resilience.
Jess Klein came to this world to pull firebrand power and childlike joy from our darkest shadows. Her acoustic-driven, hook-laden story songs revel in the polychrome of human experience – joy, rage, sensuality and resilience.

As we just honored Earth Day and as we are watching catastrophic actions of military and empire in the Middle East and around the world, here is an urgent and timely film for all of us who care about the environment, about peace, about clean food and water, about toxic chemicals and pesticides, about humanity and hope for future generations. All of our struggles are connected, so let's come together to figure out how to deal with them all in a connected way.

"Exempt from international climate agreements and rarely scrutinized in mainstream reporting, the Pentagon is the world’s single largest institutional polluter. Combining investigative journalism, striking visuals, and stories from impacted communities, this film challenges audiences to rethink the hidden costs of a global military empire and its planetary consequences."

"Earth’s Greatest Enemy", the second feature film project by Abby Martin, is a groundbreaking anti-imperialist environmental documentary. With the increasing rhetoric that "might makes right", we have to remember that the future of humanity is contingent on ending the use of force by powerful nations to push their agendas. We must unite and decide peacefully how to share this world and its resources, or we will have none left for our children and future generations.

Please come and watch this film with us and then join the conversation and learn how to take action.

Send questions or let us know if you're coming by email to info@mutualmorris.com

Mutual Morris is a mutual aid group started in 2020 to respond to immediate crises in our community and to find ways to build long-term alternatives to the harmful parts of our way of life. We have provided food, diapers, help with housing and transportation and other needs to thousands of families all across Morris County and we know that the root systemic causes of poverty, homelessness, loneliness, and hopelessness must also be dealt with, not just the symptoms. We believe another world is possible, and we are working to bring it to life.

This event is a Mutual Morris event, not hosted, organized, or endorsed by the Morris County Library.

Dan Rodriguez is a Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter whose music is rooted in hard work, open roads, and deep love of home. Raised in the suburbs of Detroit, he moved to Minneapolis at 18 to study music and stayed, embracing the snow, the seasons, and the sturdy Midwestern spirit that now shapes his sound.
A whiskey-and-beer-drinking, fishing-and-hunting-loving, motorcycle-riding, good-food-appreciating family man, Rodriguez shares his life with his wife and their two sons, Oak and Alder. That grounded, back-to-basics lifestyle runs through his songwriting, where blue-collar grit meets heartfelt reflection.
Music is his trade and performing is his calling. Whether he’s in the studio crafting songs, out on the road bringing them to audiences, tending backyard chickens, tapping city maples for syrup, or pulling vegetables from his wife’s thriving garden, Rodriguez lives the kind of life he writes about: honest, rooted, and real.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 10px; color: #000000; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; font-family: Calibri, Candara, Segoe, 'Segoe UI', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; flex: 0 1 auto; align-self: center; columns: 300px 2; column-gap: 25px; break-inside: avoid !important;">Danielle Miraglia&nbsp;hits the stage with a strong, steady thumb on her old Gibson and an infectious stomp-box rhythm, delivering songs that range from deeply heartfelt to fiercely socially conscious. Her performances are equal parts grit and groove, moving both your heart and your hips.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 10px; color: #000000; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; font-family: Calibri, Candara, Segoe, 'Segoe UI', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; flex: 0 1 auto; align-self: center; columns: 300px 2; column-gap: 25px; break-inside: avoid !important;">Her latest release,&nbsp;Bright Shining Stars, debuted at #15 on the Billboard Blues Chart. The Cascade Blues Association praised it as “…tough as rawhide, but smooth as blended whiskey.” Released on the Vizztone Label Group, the album captures the powerful one-woman-band sound Miraglia has honed over years of live performance. This solo acoustic folk-blues recording features guest appearances by Laurence Scudder, Peter Parcek, and Richard “Rosy” Rosenblatt.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 10px; color: #000000; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; font-family: Calibri, Candara, Segoe, 'Segoe UI', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; flex: 0 1 auto; align-self: center; columns: 300px 2; column-gap: 25px; break-inside: avoid !important;">Alongside her compelling originals, Miraglia includes select covers from her live repertoire, paying homage to influences such as Big Bill Broonzy, Bob Dylan, and Janis Joplin. The title track, “Bright Shining Stars,” was written by her husband, Tom Bianchi, adding a personal touch to an album that reflects both her roots and her evolution as an artist.
