SR Nation,

The tour with John Butler Trio has been going great.  We also recently returned from our first-ever headlining show in Alaska!  We have been doing our best to document the journey across the US.  Here's a photo of Chad nearly falling off the stage at the Bear Tooth Theatre Pub (thanks to Jason Shea for the photo!):

UPDATE FROM CALLING ALL CROWS

Calling All Crows' Green Summer of Service has been going strong out on the road and momentum is building as State Radio heads back to the Northeast!  A dozen dedicated fans will join us for a final week of service and music as volunteers on Alternative Break Tour II, the sequel to a successful pilot in March, which brought fans from across the U.S. and Canada together to help wrap up the our winter tour in New Orleans. 




Alternative Break Tour II will culminate in participants putting what they’ve learned into practice, leading six separate projects on Saturday, June 19th as part of the New England Day of Change. The idea behind the New England Day of Change is simple: serve locally and give globally.  At each service project, volunteers are being asked bring spare change to support Calling All Crows' 2010 humanitarian campaign to stop violence against women in Sudan through Oxfam America's Darfur Camps Project



When you sign up now, you'll receive a FREE "Green Summer of Service with State Radio" t-shirt and be invited to the exclusive New England Day of Change Rally & Acoustic Set with Chad Stokes next Friday at noon at an undisclosed location in Boston!  (Details will be emailed to all registrants next week.)  Don't miss out!

More soon .


Peace,
Team SR

SR Nation,

We have been holding our breath for weeks waiting to tell you about the new official music video for "Calling All Crows."  In fact, this video is so special to us that we have a message for you straight from Chad:

"We are so excited to debut the Calling All Crows video.  We sent our good friend and Knights of Bostonia director Andrew Mudge (brother of Weej Mudge who first brought home the oil can guitar) to South Africa, India, Brazil and lastly, New York City to capture the power and perseverance of women around the globe.  He came back with amazing footage and equally amazing stories about the women involved in the shoot and the various challenges in filming guerilla style in foreign favelas and townships.

Much thanks and respect to the women in these far away places and to the women of New York City, who in the final shoot, did not disappoint and totally exemplified the worldliness and proud spirit of their distant sisters - not to mention a special performance by the usually camera shy (to say the least) Sybil Gallagher! 

In our mission to help curb violence against woman here and abroad with our organization by the same name, we are very psyched to bring the song to life by way of these amazing and inspiring people.

One love,
Chad"

Without any further holdup, here is the new video!
