cELEBRATIONS AND Concerts for HUMANITY AND democracy

(Please see all Concerts below)

The Planetary Gigs Society has sponsored and conducted Concerts for Humanity since October of 2020. Please see below for an explanation of these Concerts and videos to all of the Concerts. Democracy Needs Music and Music Needs Democracy!

The Society is currently shifting its focus to encouraging, sponsoring, and conducting CELEBRATIONS AND CONCERTS FOR HUMANITY! The first Concert for Humanity was held at the Devi Music Ashram in Rishikesh, India on February 24, 2024. The intent of these Concerts is to encourage musicians and everyone to recognize the power of music, how we all have our common spirituality in music, and that it is important NOW for everyone to use the power of music to help bring about peace, harmony, and coherence to the world. As with the Concerts for Democracy, we encourage all musicians, artists, and citizens of the planet to step forward and help us navigate a more harmonious future.

A second series of Concerts for Humanity were conducted April 17-18, 2024 in Gatlinburg and Nashville, TN, featuring Roy ‘Futureman’ Wooten, John Tinger, and Jefferson Glassie.

A series of Celebrations and Concerts for Humanity sponsored by the Planetary Gigs Society in the summer of 2024 are being held at the Music Monastery, A Spiritual Home for Artists, in Nashville, TN.

Please check social media for dates and information and videos of the Concerts will be provided as available.

How Musicians Can Participate!

It’s time for musicians to sing out about Democracy! We’re at a critical point in our lives and in history, and the choice in many countries is between Democracy or authoritarian rule. So many of our desires will be thwarted if we do not preserve Democracy. Music is incredibly powerful and brings healing, unity, and peace. The Planetary Gigs Society encourages musicians to sing out now and let your intentions be known so that we can have that better world we all desire.

As Joseph Wooten says, “Democracy needs Music, and Music needs Democracy!”

Musicians, please participate in these concerts. There are many options to do so:

1. Play or record protest, political, or intentional songs for Democracy for your family or close friends and tell them why you support Democracy and explain why it is important for you.

2. Play or record protest or intentional songs for Democracy and post them online on whatever social media platform you prefer; tell everyone in your own words what your intentions are for the world and why you support Democracy.

3. Sign up to play or record protest or intentional songs for Democracy with any organization sponsoring Concerts for Democracy or start your own Concerts for Democracy on any social media platform you’d like. Considering hosting on Zoom and streaming to Facebook Live, as one example.

4. Watch and share the Planetary Gigs Society Concerts for Democracy performances (see videos below) and spread the word to your friends, families, and followers, including by widely sharing the links to the Concerts.

5. Share links to any of the Concerts for Democracy that you watch or participate in to your social media to maximize exposure for these important musical performances.
