Mark's Park EP2: Soul Night featuring War & Pierce | Playing For Change |
|
Welcome to episode two of our newest series Mark's Park. Filmed in front of a live audience in PFC co-founder/producer Mark Johnson's backyard in Venice Beach, California, this series brings together the diverse group of people who call Venice Beach home in an effort to not only foster community but help support the homeless youth within the community. A portion of the proceeds from Mark's Park will benefit our partner, Safe Place For Youth — empowering young people experiencing homelessness to thrive by providing lasting, community-driven solutions that address racial and social inequity.
This episode features 21st century blues singer/songwriter duo War & Pierce's Sunny War (vocals, acoustic guitar) and Chris Pierce (vocals, acoustic guitar) along with Paul Allen (percussion, background vocals), and Aroyn Davis (bass, background vocals). Performing original War & Pierce songs as well as original songs from both of their recent solo album releases that will make you think and feel, turn it up and let the music inspire you to be the change you wish to see in the world. Join us from Mark's home to yours, and together, let's help those who don't have a home. 0:00 Introduction 0:34 "American Silence" written by Chris Pierce 4:34 "On and On" written by Chris Pierce, Sunny War, and Jared Faber 7:30 “Amen” written by Chris Pierce, Sunny War, and Jared Faber 11:31 Safe Place For Youth 13:04 “Got No Ride" written by Sunny War 17:15 “Chain Gang Fourth of July" written by Chris Pierce GET YOUR LIMITED EDITION MARK'S PARK MERCH: http://bit.ly/MarksParkMerch MORE FROM WAR & PIERCE http://www.warandpierce.com https://www.facebook.com/warandpierce https://www.instagram.com/warandpierce/ https://twitter.com/warandpierce JOIN THE MOVEMENT Subscribe to our mailing list: http://bit.ly/1x9CAfJ Join us as a PFC Member: http://bit.ly/JoinAndSupportPFC GET SOCIAL https://www.facebook.com/PlayingForChange https://twitter.com/playing4change http://instagram.com/playing4change https://playingforchange.com SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR PARTNERS IN MAKING CHANGE: Audio-Technica—Audio pioneer in high-performance sound design Established in 1962, Audio-Technica is a worldwide group of companies devoted to the design, manufacture, marketing and distribution of problem-solving audio equipment.

The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band—a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation—a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting music programs for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet. To learn more about the work of the PFC Foundation, visit http://www.playingforchange.org |
