Saving the Hoosier: The Concert

This is your chance to experience Saving the Hoosier Concert live, connecting with people who care about our Hoosier National Forest while you enjoy music up close. The live concert will feature Hoosier musicians Sarah Flint and Jeff Shew, and is a fundraiser to help complete the new documentary film “Saving the Hoosier: The Fight for America’s Forests”. Audience members will get to see a sneak peek of scenes from the film and meet narrator Hud Mellencamp. While there, enjoy some food and the opportunity to bid on some auction items. The film is being produced by Bloomington-based Women with Guts Productions.

With Artists for Climate Awareness as fiscal sponsor for the film, all donations are tax-deductible. Tickets for the concert are $30, and include beverages and pizza, generously donated by Pizza X. Audience members will be invited to participate in a sing-along of the Indiana state song, "On the Banks of the Wabash"' that will be used in the film.

Besides Flint and Shew, the soundtrack for Saving the Hoosier will include music from Krista Detor, Carrie Newcomer, Charlie Jesseph and Busman’s Holiday.

Saving the Hoosier follows environmental activists who, through grassroots education and lawsuits, have successfully protected the Hoosier National Forest from the US Forest Service’s plans for commercial logging and prescribed burns to benefit timber sales.
