Jean Rohe is an acclaimed song-writer and singer, as well as a devoted mentor, working with incarcerated song-writers,as well as at the New School and privately. She writes powerful narrative songs, and is widely known for her "National Anthem: Arise! Arise!" an aspirational alternative which has been performed extensively across the US. She shared with me her perspectives on love, grief, identity, community and creativity. One of her beautiful collaborations is the wonderful album Beautalina with the band Eureka Shoes, with Skye Soto Steele, Charlie Burnham and Rashaan Carter. We are featuring music from that project as well as with Robinson & Rohe.
