The Shalefield Organizing Committee Benefit w/Birds of Maya at Circle of Hope Sept. 14

Birds of Maya are making a rare appearance tonight at the Circle of Hope as part of a benefit for the Shalefield Organizing Committee. The organization is “a group of concerned residents from across eastern Pennsylvania who work to protect human and ecological rights for those living in the shalefields,” which helps to combat fracking, the process of drilling and injecting fluid into the ground at a high pressure in order to fracture shale rocks to release natural gas inside, causing dangerous side effects. They’ll be joined by Dance Nook and Matt Sowell. Circle of Hope, 2007 Frankford Ave., 7pm, $10, All Ages – Alexis V.
