Heavy Meadow

Heavy Meadow, aka Sam Bodkin, started Groupmuse in 2012! 😮 Now he's a traveling bard playing music from Joe Hill, music from his spirit, and music from the mountain 🏔️

Saul Richmond-Rakerd

Saul is a long time friend of Groupmuse, having played over 50 groupmuses across the last 10 years 🫨 Now he's a fancy cellist with SF Ballet, but he still likes to hang out with us and play groupmuses! Lucky us!

Drea Soulfool

Drea SoulFool brings a new comedy act in her signature cartoon style starring a scandalous sentient blanket. Featuring Drea, Skip and Molly!

Who is Joe Hill?

In 1915, the State of Utah executed the greatest bard of the Progressive Era for a crime he didn’t commit. 20,000 people came to Joe Hill’s funeral — he was THE song maker for the exploding labor movement. But alas, his story has been lost down the memory hole. On August 9th, we’re bringing him back.

Groupmuse Founder Heavy Meadow is taking the Joe Hill story on the road and making a documentary about the journey, and he’s so blessed to say that Fruitvale is a stop along the way.

Without Joe Hill, there’s no Woody Guthrie. Without Woody Guthrie, there’s no Bob Dylan. And without Bob Dylan, there sure as heck isn’t any Heavy Meadow.

Come on by for a night of song, story, and solidarity.
