Shannon Murray: Folk Singer

September 30, 2016 – Segment 2

We talk with Shannon Murray, a folk/punk musician and storyteller from Bemidji, Minnesota, who was in town last week. Murray has undertaken a fascinating project that focuses on the music of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), also known as “Wobblies,” an international labor union founded in Chicago in 1905.
