Checkered Past is the only band from USA at global food conference
On October 23, 2008 in Turin, Italy, 5,000 food producers, 1,000 cooks and restaurateurs, 500 academics, 1,000 students and 5 Kansas City folk musicians will come together at Terra Madre to discuss the challenges shared by small-scale, sustainable food producers from all seven continents -- including Antarctica. The health of the earth and its inhabitants will be completely connected to the way food is produced in the future. It is our honor to take our musical greetings from America's Heartland to this amazing gathering of individuals acting on Earth's behalf.
Terra Madre will take good care of us during the festival, but we are working hard to earn our way to Italy. Check out our expanded Summer schedule below to see what we mean.
Many thanks to Dave Lizor and Linda Brinkerhoff for putting together this exciting green festival to help us deliver our singing telegram to Terra Madre. Specific inquiries -- email: CheckeredPastEvents@gmail.com.
