Walkabout Clearwater Chorus

The Walkabout Clearwater Coffeehouse

We have hosted virtually every major folk performer, and many country, blues, cajun and other performers as well.

The Walkabout Coffeehouse pioneered the innovative "Teachabout" so those who attend learn the songs they can carry on themselves to kids, family, friends.

Check out the Coffeehouse page for the full lineup, times, and directions.

Post-Election Statement of Purpose
The Walkabout Clearwater Chorus and Coffeehouse
November 28, 2016

The results of the 2016 Presidential Election present us with a dire threat to our efforts to secure a cleaner, healthier, and more peaceful environment. It is gratifying that so many other environmental organizations have issued passionate statements that they will continue and expand the fight. Two examples below, both issued the morning after the election:

"This is a deeply disappointing day for the United States, and the world. For people all over the country, the pain, anger, and fear at the prospect of a Trump Presidency are very real... That is why, as the saying goes, we will not mourn (for too long, anyway) - we will organize... And we stand in total solidarity with communities of color, Muslims, women and all those who may be threatened under a Trump Administration. They have an ally in the environmental movement. In the meantime, we will not be licking our wounds. Instead, we are preparing for the fights to come."
-- Michael Brune, Executive Director of the Sierra Club, November 9, 2016

"The election of Donald Trump has profoundly altered the landscape in which environmentalists work. While environmental issues weren't central to the campaign, President-elect Trump took positions during the campaign that were directly counter to ours - and contradicted by science. What didn't change last night is our commitment to fight for a cleaner, healthier world. Our resolve is unshaken... We will ferociously defend America's bedrock environmental protections."
-- Fred Krupp, President of the Environmental Defense Fund, November 9, 2016

Walkabout Clearwater stands in solidarity with the Sierra Club, the Environmental Defense Fund, and all other organizations that pursue our common goals in this new, very dark period, with its vicious, sometimes violent assault on our core values.
