Fall tour announcements have been rolling in by the dozen. The decisions are overwhelming, but what if every artist was supporting a different cause during their tour- children and youth, arts and culture, education and literacy? What if instead of deciding on which artists to support based on production and talent, we were influenced by which cause we hold close to our heart? Could you imagine how different the world would be? The Polish Ambassador can.
Starting September 28 in Nevada City, CA the Permaculture Tour will be traveling across the United States to inspire and empower fans with the tools and “know how” of co-creating a sustainable and regenerative world.
People are attending concerts and festivals by the tens of thousands yet it is rare to see this energy mobilizing for a greater cause, a cause that directly affects the local community that is hosting the event. Yep, I’m with you. The party, the celebration is awesome. Shaking booty with your friends is heaps of fun. I know. I’ve been doing it for the past 5 years. But now, I’m longing for something more. Are you?
Can impact and celebration co-exist in the same environment? Can community work parties and projects culminate in ecstatic dance party celebrations? Can we remember that festival culture all began with harvests where people busted their ass for a week(s), all of it culminating in a community celebration known as a festival?
I’ve decided to dedicate this Fall tour to these ideals. Perhaps we can consider this a seed that is being planted to inspire other artists to do something similar. Maybe it’s an experiment. We have a question and this experiment might be the beginning of an answer.
We’re embarking on a 30+ city tour and we’ve linked up with a team of permaculture teachers, urban farmers, community organizers, and network weavers to add to the already growing team of musicians, lyricists, and visual artists that make up Jumpsuit Records and The Polish Ambassador experience. We’ll be teaching permaculture at shows through spoken word, video, and resources for people to take home; bringing local groups and organizations out to put a focus on the change they’re making in each city; and hosting impact days attended by YOU guys to build community projects. Pushing Through the Pavement is taking action to transform the places where we live.
We’re planting a seed with the intention that it’s going to grow and grow.” David Sugalski (The Polish Ambassador)
Bridging live music with collective action is what transformational festivals have been inspiring for the last few years. Check out our list of “16 Transformational Festivals You Need To Experience.” The Permaculture Tour is bringing that organic essence and vision to our cities and local communities to really spark change. Instead of leaving festivals with ideas and hoping you can remember all the solutions, you can leave the show with tools and take it straight to your backyard.
If you like, share, support and/or donate to The Polish Ambassador this year, he suggests that it goes straight to this campaign!
