| Friday, Sept. 12 6:30 PM | Presenting Songwriters NIght at the Wilmette location  LilFest Festival presents Songwriters and Composers Night with Jack Hardy, David Massengill, Marshall Hjertstedt, Nancy Emrich on Friday, September 12 at 6:30PM. The music business is in a large cloud of change, disruption and economic challenge. Yet against this setting of uncertainty, we all hear the heartbeat of songwriting somewhere in our world. It may be the young man across the hall in our workplace or a mid-life mother struggling for moments of peace and inspiration to create on the living room piano. Across every demographic slice we can imagine, the songwriting muse is active and prolific.
And most of the work never sees the light of day, no matter if it is of heart-stopping quality, or, as I imagine mine, "like the brown water that runs first out of an underused faucet." I hired Jack Hardy and David Massengill for LilFest Festival, as the tenured, talented and great performers they are, then slowly it dawned on me that they are also storied supporters of songwriting. As the Boston Globe said "Jack Hardy is one of the most influential figures today in defining the American Folk Song." The same could be said of David Massengill. In this era of pop-driven acoustic music, these two have kept the folk tradition alive in Manhattan songwriting through the Songwriter's Co-op, the Fast Folk Musical Magazine, Speakeasy club, and Monday after Monday of sharing at the now-venerable songwriters' circle. And this "circle" is best described as the kind made by a stone thrown in a pond. This circle's rings spread the world over rippling through the ocean of music we live in today with names like Shawn Colvin, Suzanne Vega and Lyle Lovett and songs like Julie Gold's 1990 Grammy Award-winning song, "From a Distance." Jack Hardy and David Massengill are programmed on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the LilFest Festival as the Folk Brothers. On Friday, they are the central figures in a special songwriters/composers evening hosted by local songwriter Marshall Hjertstedt under the LilFest tent in Wilmette starting at 6:30 PM, although additional sign-ups are welcome, and the performing may start as early as 5PM if more songwriters sign-up at 312-371-2284 or by emailing info@.... On Saturday the Folk Brothers perform at 3PM at 711 Lake, Wilmette, and on Sunday at 7PM at Bill's Blues at 1029 Davis Street, Evanston.

| So many kids, so much opportunity to improve their education. |  LilFest Music Festival 2008 will benefit CAPE: Chicago Arts Partnership in Education which builds deeply integrated partnerships between artists and schools.
. | |||||

 The need to develop the human capacity for creative and intelligent analysis, problem solving and action is central to education worldwide. CAPE, the Chicago Arts Partnership in Education, provides a definitive model for successful change in schools, in learning and in education methods. This success is demonstrated locally in CAPE's programs in one out of every six Chicago public schools, and demanded internationally in consultancies as far flung as Ohio, California, the UK and New Zealand. Go to www.capeweb.org for in-depth information about CAPE.

| ||||||
 The CAPE model brings radical change to schools through integration of arts into the curriculum. Partnering artists with teachers in long term, multi-disciplinary, focused, researched and documented ways, changes student learning for the better. Indeed, successful artist/teacher collaborations address school morale, teacher retention, conflict resolution, teaching methods, curricula, while honoring the students' intelligence, creative nature and natural imitative.
As individuals and as a world, we need CAPE's tight, efficient, effective model working in many more schools in Chicago, and replicated throughout education globally. | ||||||
