Galena, Illinois

Martin Koop is a singer, songwriter and guitar-picker, whose contagious songs are the reason Funcoast magazine said Koop is “proof that folk music is alive and well.”

When it gets down to gritty, groovy, soulful songs about life, broken hearts,
dirty laundry, trains, and best friends, nobody in Americana music today does it
the way Koop does it.
There is no charge for this concert. The ADA accessible Galena Center for the Arts is located at 219 Summit Street in Galena, with plenty of available parking. Doors open at 6 PM. For more information, go to www.GalenaCenterForTheArts.com.

Alex White Plume and his Lakota family planted industrial hemp on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota after other crops had failed. They put their hopes for a sustainable economy in hemp’s hardiness and a booming worldwide demand. He believed that tribal sovereignty, along with hemp’s non-psychoactive properties, would protect him. But when federal agents raided the fields, the Lakota Nation was swept into the family’s struggle.

This free screening is made possible by POV.
