You've enabled us to host workshops and showcase successful queer people and women from all professions for kids to see with their own eyes. And it's working. Girls Rising programs are uplifting kids, especially girls and queer kids, and we are helping to build their self-esteem. Our workshops engage these kids, as well entertain and inspire them to think outside of the pre-prescribed box. </p>
<p>Girls Rising has proudly awarded young high school students’ over $30,000 in scholarships. We have also helped elementary schools rent school instruments, attend math programs, and go on field trips through Girls Rising Grants. Aspiring young performers have been given opportunities to perform onstage at our annual Girls Rising Music Festival with Grammy award winning performers such as Shawn Colvin, Lisa Loeb, Carnie Wilson, Paula Cole, Jill Sobule and others. </p>
<p>Our work is not done, and we need to keep moving forward. It's that time of year where we hope we can count you to join us again, or to hopefully inspire some of you to give for the very first time. </p>
<p>Please join us at any of our special December Days of Giving Events happening all month long in our home community here on Long Island, OR by gifting Girls Rising a tax deductible donation through the link provided. DONATE TO GIRLS RISING 501c3 TODAY </p>

<p>It's a little late.</p>
<p>That being said, we do feel like we owe everyone an explanation for our tardiness, other than the obvious one - that we are flakey artists. </p>
<p>Basically what happened is this part of the world opened back UP! And we started getting live dates outside of our houses! And we started rehearsing TOGETHER in person! And we kinda accidentally came up with a new original song AND a new cover song that we decided to RECORD and ADD to True Joy! And the recording process ALWAYS, and we do mean ALWAYS, takes way longer than we ever think it will. These computers act like they simplify our lives, but guess what? THEY DON'T ALWAYS. We are doing all the recording ourselves in our home studios, and guess what else? We have to google things pretty often unless we are Nini. </p>
<p>This does not mean the end product will not be amazing. Because it will be. We promise. And here's how we know this.....when we finish tracking the songs, we send those tracks to brilliant (female) mixers like Rachel Alina, and everything we track is listened to and combed through by our very own producer, Julie Wolf. They give us opinions and tell us the truth, even if it hurts, and we fix the things that they think sound WONKY. And eventually, the songs get DONE! </p>
<p>And once they do get done, our management oversees the songs getting uploaded to all the streaming services, which can take up to two weeks from the time we load the songs..... </p>
<p>But, ya know, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT until we finally release it to all the streaming services. WE HAVE BEEN UPLOADING SONGS AS THEY FINISH to a secret password protected page on this very site. And MANY MANY people already have access to that page. If you would like access to that page, all you have to do is donate $15 or more (we do encourage the more part, but totally get if $15 is your price), and we will send you a link and a passcode (usually within 24 hours, but sometimes it can take 48-72 hours depending on the traffic and the weather so don't get worried). </p>
<p>Gain access to True Joy - stream and download tracks as we finish them. Just press the paypal button below and donate $15 or more:</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/121930/9dd7a5e6ef8e0e7c3ed8eaaacd6c8613c3ad24c5/original/images.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsInNtYWxsIl1d.jpg" class="size_s justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>As soon as the two new tracks are done, we will upload them IMMEDIATELY to the password protected page FOR ONLY YOUR EARS to hear FIRST! We will keep you posted via this very website as to when those tracks are ready to be heard. </p>
<p>We are also excited to unveil the front cover of True Joy, create by our very own fan who turned into friend who happens to be a graphic designer Gabby, aka Joely aka Joely Bond aka we have no idea what her real name is. You will be seeing this image all over the place soon enough (think Billboard top 100 Charts, cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, Entertainment Tonight, etc), but for now you can view it right here in this update:</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/121930/0fab6e20e308bc1e599df7c19e151fa49b673b7c/original/tj.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>Now click that paypal link above and get the access link and passcode to start listening to the 7 or 8 or however many songs we've uploaded so far! You're gonna LOVE IT! </p>

Dena literally knows every line and laughs like it's the first time she is watching it. And we laugh at her laughing. Every. Single. Time. So let's plan a party. We planned to do this online because of, ya know, the pandemic, but things are loosening up and maybe if all the variables line up we could watch it on your sofa. You never do know....</p>

<p>No, YOU did it! </p>
<p>Ok, WE ALL DID IT! </p>
<p>Our Kickstarter campaign launched on March 15 at 12 noon EST, and on that very same day at 11:27PM, we were a fully funded campaign. That means one very important thing. It means we will receive all the money donated to our effort at the end of the campaign on April 13, 2021. </p>
<p>Attaining that first goal is HUGE! It's EVERYTHING, actually. Without it, there's no game to play. </p>
<p>So it's official. WE ARE IN THE GAME. COOKING WITH GAS. "FUNDED," as they say in Crowdfund speak. And that's our language this month. We are fluent in it. </p>
<p>It's why we say things like, "now that we've hit our "initial goal" it's time to "SHATTER IT!" </p>
<p>You know, catch phrases. Things to inspire more people to jump on board. We are a "winning team," people! We hit "THE GOAL." </p>
<p>"BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!"</p>
<p>"More?" Kristen, Cathy and Nini say to each other, with dread rumbling in their bellies. "We can't just go back to our home studios and make music with drop boxes and email each other links about the cool new microphones we bought at Sweetwater Music.com?</p>
<p>No ladies, you can't. I mean. Yes ladies, you can do that. But you have to do some other stuff too. You're funded now. The switch has been flipped. The on button has been pressed. You are BACK. And you are BETTER THAN EVER. And don't you forget it. </p>
<p>It's time to start planning music videos. And you actually have a few tracks you haven't finished yet. Remember those? There are still at least two songs not totally recorded. One isn't even fully written, but you are finishing it as we speak, right? And probably two songs that need to be mixed and mastered, whatever that means. Mixed and mastered is music speak for "not free." Even with your cool home studios, you can't mix or master anything. In fact, after 25 years of making recordings, you still don't even really know what mastering is.</p>
<p>And now you actually have people who are waiting for you to load new tracks to the "secret page on your website" with the "sneaky all access code" that Kristen's daughter Kate thinks is "a ridiculous passcode, Mom." </p>
<p>So this journey really is just beginning. Fully funded is the same type of relaxed feeling I got after my first trimester of pregnancy. I hit that milestone and thought, "Phew, I don't have to worry about this baby anymore." And ten seconds later I started worrying again. And twelve years later I am under the watchful eyes of a therapist to get me through the "tween" years. Quite happily, I might add. </p>
<p>So here we are. Happily funded, and trudging forward to the next milestone! $10K is next, but let's be honest. $20K would be EVEN BETTER! </p>
<p>Who doesn't love a good crowdfund campaign? </p>

Later that afternoon you can bring your kids over to the Family Stage from 3:00 - 3:45 where we will entertain the kids and hopefully grown ups alike, with stories and age appropriate songs, and finally we will round out the day with a Girls Rising workshop on the Clearwater Workshop Stage from 6:35 - 7:20</p>
<p>Founded by Pete Seeger and inspired by his desire to clean up the Hudson River over fifty years ago, <a contents="the Great Hudson River Revival (Clearwater Festival)" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.clearwaterfestival.org/">the Great Hudson River Revival (Clearwater Festival)</a> is the country’s oldest music and environmental festival. Initially, the festival helped raise the funds to build the sloop Clearwater, which has since become a world-renowned floating classroom and a symbol of effective grassroots action. Today, Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that sails at the forefront of the nation’s environmental challenges. </p>
<p>The Clearwater Festival features eight sustainably powered stages with diverse music, dance, storytelling and family-oriented programming as well as a juried Handcrafters’ Village, the Green Living Expo, the Working Waterfront with small boat exhibits and rides on small boats and tall ships, the Artisanal Food & Farm Market, environmental education displays and exhibits, and the Circle of Song where audience participation is the focus. The festival is wheelchair accessible and most stage programming is staffed with American Sign Language interpreters. </p>
<p>All proceeds go directly to support Clearwater’s environmental research, education and advocacy efforts to help preserve and protect the Hudson River and its tributaries and communities in the river valley - as well as keeping the sloop Clearwater afloat.</p>

We raised well over our goal of $2019 for our nonprofit, Girls Rising! And now we are well on our way to our end of year goal of $10K! We have currently raised $3,685 - which means we have raised 37% of our target! </p>

The good news is I am moving slowly and steadily in the right direction and getting better everyday.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I have not been cleared to perform at this Friday night’s (sold out, btw) show at City Winery in NYC. That being said, the show will go on as scheduled. I just won’t be on stage and am waiting until Friday to see if I can make the trip into the city to view this once in a lifetime performance! I can tell you we’ve planned to have a few friends join us on stage, and when I say us I mean Antigone Rising - even if I’m not on stage I’m still there with my teammates in spirit.</p>
<p>On a brighter note, I do plan to perform at our upcoming shows with Dar Williams at City Winery in DC on 11/2 and 11/3. We are putting finishing touches on our new EP that should be ready this winter. In early 2019 we will be doing a special Girls Rising outreach at LA LGBT Center with guest panelists Carnie Wilson and Melissa Etheridge (date and ticket information coming soon but early February is the plan), and of course we will be setting sail on The Melissa Etheridge Cruise with Shawn Colvin, Paula Cole, Joan Osborne, and many others from 3/31-4/7/19!</p>
<p>Thank you to everyone for all the well wishes thus far and for continuing to support Antigone Rising and the work we are doing with our nonprofit, Girls Rising. It’s impossible to express my gratitude in words.</p>
<p>Love, Kristen</p>

BeachFest celebrates the work of the band's nonprofit, Girls Rising, which was officially formed in 2014. The centerpiece of the day revolves around a Girls Rising outreach panel discussion, much like the panel discussion the band presents at schools, universities, community centers, refugee camps, embassies and corporations around the globe. The only difference with this panel is that the women of Antigone Rising will step aside and let some of their friends take a turn sharing their stories of their paths to success. The All-Star panel consists of moderator, Carnie Wilson (5x Grammy nominee, member of Wilson Phillips, talk show host and Co-Founder/Entrepreneur of Love Bites by Carnie), with panelists, US Hockey Olympian Angela Ruggiero, WNBA All Star Sue Wicks, Grammy Winning Songwriter Julie Gold, and Comedian Suzanne Westenhoefer (Letterman/HBO/Logo). </p>
<p>These game changing women will inspire everyone in attendance and empower the kids in the crowd to be anything they want to be. </p>
<p>The panel discussion will take place at Sea Cliff Beach Pavilion at 3PM on Saturday, June 30, 2018. </p>
<p>BeachFest 5 opens at 12 noon and is free to the public with a suggested donation at the entrance. Music begins at 12:30 with an all-star line up of female artists and vendors lining the beach. Antigone Rising will close the evening with a set of music scheduled to start around 8:15pm that evening. </p>

Not only will we be performing at the Opening Brunch on Tuesday morning at 11am, we will also present our very own Girls Rising Breakout Panel Discussion with panel moderator and Out&Equal Board member, Amy Hanneman. After that, Kristen will speak on a featured panel discussion about Intersectionality, where she will bring her unique perspective on ways in which sexuality, gender, race, and other identity categories shaped Antigone Rising's experiences as well as how AR has shared those experiences with people around the world through Girls Rising Outreach programs. And finally, Kristen, Cathy and Nini will spend a few days on the convention exhibit floor talking to corporations about how Girls Rising can align with them to bring about change in the coming year! </p>
<p>It will be a busy week. We suggest you follow along on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook so you don't miss a thing!</p>

We don't. AT ALL.<br><br>What is the music industry (I am actually asking you this question)?<br><br>Is it Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke (head)? Cause I have no idea what's happening there or how that even remotely relates to what Antigone Rising does. Unless Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus have ever facebook chatted directly with a fan about the logistics of how to play a house concert on their farm. In that case, we are in the same industry. <br><br>I imagine these 'music industry' people walk into studios with beats already playing, get tossed into 'the booth' to sing, get tricked into thinking 'they wrote it,' believe it's a good idea to twerk on national televison, and then get divorced. <br><br>That is not what we do. <a contents="CLICK HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.hanginwithhendo.com/2014/02/this-is-how-we-do-it.html">CLICK HERE</a> TO READ THE REST OF 'THIS IS HOW WE DO IT' FROM KRISTEN'S HANGIN' WITH HENDO<br>BLOG!
