Live Tonight on Millennium Stage : Chadwick Stokes is an accomplished musician and songwriter who grew up on a small farm outside of Boston. A songwriter since early adolescence, his many projects have woven together music, art, history and activism. From Dispatch, which he started in his early 20s; to his politically driven band, State Radio; to his nascent solo project, Chadwick Stokes and the Pintos, Chad has committed himself to using music as a vehicle for social and political change. Along with his wife, Sybil, he founded Calling All Crows, a non-profit organization dedicated to engaging music fans around women's issues both at home and abroad. They’ve worked to bring awareness to the worldwide refugee crisis, to the proliferation of violence against women and to the persistence of sexual violence within the music industry. Through his many years of working independently within what can be a difficult industry, Chadwick has been continually motivated by his love of music and the people he makes it with.

Thanks for the times! As Chad mentioned, Minnow has lyrics, this was the first instrumental version. First live was Levitate Backyard in 2019 (ua-cam.com/video/t73MPqn6g7k/v-deo.html) . He's played it a handful of times when playing solo or w/the Pintos, but only mentioned the name Minnow a couple of times

[@danielrcoster]

Love these times and notes, thank you! The State Radio comments definitely have me excited.

[@chefboyrg7752]

State Radio will always be my favorite band. Wake it up Chad, we need it more than ever!

[@user-d.h]

We NEED it!!!

[@ryankirshenbaum1000]

Is it possible to get these individual songs uploaded to Spotify? That Indian Moon/Gunship Politico mashup is amazing and I want to add it to my playlists.

[@jimbittbitter3379]

The “7 minnows” song was great the times you’ve played it live. Next Pintos album for sure.

[@jimbittbitter3379]

Chad should try this one on the 12 string. I think it would sound great. Channel something from those tours with John Butler Trio. I can hear a bit of his “Ocean” in there.

[@kurtguenther9376]

@@jimbittbitter3379 thats what i was thinking too

[@Audioobscure]

I couldn't sing along any better than you. Loved it though

[@emmaukleja7143]
