Vegans,
Shows, and Rock-and-Roll
Musicians around the world are
using their music to promote animal
welfare and vegetarianism. Two Massachusetts
artists shared with us their experiences
distributing Vegan Outreach materials
on their recent concert tours.
 inblackandwhite
is a Boston, MA rock band comprised
of four vegetarians who are proud
of their compassionate choice to
follow a plant-based diet. During
their east coast tour in December,
January, and February, they displayed
the Even If You Like Meat
and Guide to Cruelty-Free Eating
brochures on their merchandise tables.
Interested fans were seen flipping
through the booklets in between
sets and while browsing the buttons
and CDs for sale. At one of the
shows, a volunteer leafleted all
of the patrons exiting the club.
The band looks forward to sharing
VO's message during their future
tours as well.

 Kyle
Vincent is a multitalented
vegan singer/songwriter who currently
hails from western Massachusetts.
He recently completed a winter tour
of the midwestern United States
and distributed Vegan Outreach literature
at each of his tour stops. His audience
-- both human and non-human -- seemed
to be incredibly receptive to the
material. Kyle had this to say about
his experiences:
Akron, Feb. 2, at Musica
My assistant Carolyn manned (womanned?)
the merch table at this environmental
awareness night. We had both pamphlets
out on the table. Carolyn remarked
that the Prius salesman took one
of each brochure and put them in
the backseat of the car for all
to see.
Ann Arbor, MI, Feb. 9-10, Seva
veg restaurant
One of my faves. Put out a stack
of flyers in their literature section
-- only one remained the next day!
Dexter, MI, Feb. 9-10, Living Room
Shows
Several vegetarians in attendance
giving us kudos for having the flyers
available, and the host of the night
had set out vegan options and even
a vegan b-day cake!
 Whittaker,
MI, Feb. 10, Great Lakes Rabbit
Sanctuary
One of the most peaceful places
on earth. Left some brochures here
for future visitors. Our tour guide
Celeste was charmed when I tried
to preach to the choir and show
one of the top bunnies a pamphlet,
both of us knowing that he was already
a lifelong vegan.
