Reverend Billy is a renowned performance artist and activist who travels the world to fight against consumerism and the detriments of disposable goods. Recently, his 35 person gospel choir has turned to the issue of mountaintop removal coal mining, writing many original songs about the dangers of the environmentally harmful mining practice.
Reverend Billy has been hosting various events around the country to spread his call to end mountaintop removal, and he and his choir will now perform in West Virginia in honor of the great local activists who have won several victories against Big Coal.
Reverend Billy and the choir will hold their event in Charleston, WV, on Saturday, July 24th at 8pm in the West Virginia Cultural Center Theater.
