Mountain, Ashland, on Tuesday, October 16, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance, $28 at the door, $10 for teens 12-17 and free under 12.

Celebrating 40 plus years of musical commitment to social justice communities, Near is touring in support of her new 28-song double CD Peace Becomes You.
Near is a unique combination of entertainer, teacher, and activist. An immense vocal talent, she has been unwilling to separate her passion for music from her passion for human dignity. She is a skilled performer and an outspoken ambassador for peace who brings to the stage an integration of world consciousness, spiritual discovery, and theatricality.
In 1972, Near was one of the first women to create an independent record company. Throughout her career, Near has garnered many honors, including a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize as one of the “1000 Women for Peace,” Ms. Magazine’s Woman of the Year award, The Legends of Women’s Music Award and a Freedom of Information award from the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California.
