Dana Lyons kicks off the Seattle Folklore Society fall concert series with a special concert on the eve of the International Day of Peace. Dana's cunning use of humor and satire keeps the audience engaged and connected with the topic at hand. His songs are a powerful voice for world peace and environmental stewardship. Dana wrote the song, "Circle the World" about Jane Goodall's vision of her Giant Peace Dove puppets being so numerous on the International Day of Peace that they'd be visible from outer space. Dana and Jane subsequently created a CD featuring Dana's songs and Jane's stories titled "Circle the World."�

"Dana is a master at mixing playful humor with social and environmental activism. His voice is beautiful, his songs are funny, relevant and thought provoking." - Backbone Concert Series, Vashon Island

The International Day of Peace was first established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly to be observed on the opening day of each annual session. On September 7, 2001, the GA modified the resolution to designate September 21st as the annual date of the International Day of Peace. The intention of the resolution is to have the entire world observe a day of peace and nonviolence. All peoples and organizations are invited to commemorate the day in an appropriate manner. An ever-expanding number of people worldwide, representing a wide variety of traditions, have committed to the task of working with other like-minded individuals and groups for International Day of Peace observances.
