About this item
From an acclaimed musician comes an inside look at one of the most controversial and influential civil rights movements of our time.Nights in Tents is a memoir of the profoundly moving, and often hysterical, circumstances a fifty-one-year-old middle-class musician encountered when she abandoned a pleasantly predictable life on her pastoral, off-grid home nestled in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State to run off with the Occupy Movement.Internationally recognized singer/songwriter, Laura Love, put her music career on hold for a year to live in the chaotic tent encampments from Wall Street to Oakland. Traveling through the United States, Laura was immersed in the electrifying political culture of Occupy. She pitched her tent on city center concrete plazas; she helped shut down the Port of Oakland; she took over a Bank of America in San Francisco and was teargassed, arrested, and jailed for her trouble.
About the Author
Hi dear friends. I am very excited to be releasing my second memoir, "NIGHTS IN TENTS, about my year of traveling around with the Occupy Movement, detailing the profound and sometimes hysterically funny experiences I had Occupying cities all over America. For the last three decades I have made my living as a touring musician and recording artist for various record labels (including Mercury/Polygram, Putumayo, Rounder/Zoe and Koch) . After a tough year spent recovering from a brutal assault, I have just released my latest single in over a 11 years, called, "I STILL BELIEVE" to radio stations throughout the United States. The song is an anthem for all of us who find ourselves broken-hearted, for whatever reason, yet still believe deeply in the power of kindness, love and forgiveness. I do encourage you to purchase it through CDBaby or visit my website, or my Facebook page.
