Playing for Change is a multimedia effort to unite musicians and vocalists from diverse parts of the globe while seeking to immerse audiences in a movement to inspire, connect and bring peace to the world through music. Using mobile audio/video units, technicians traveled the world, recording local musicians outdoors in towns and cities worldwide. In addition, musicians from all over the world are now brought together to perform benefit concerts that build music and art schools in communities in need. The special premieres August 1 and airs throughout August 2009 on most PBS stations. Check local listings for dates and times in your area at pbs.org. You can help PBS continue to offer everyone — from every walk of life — the opportunity to experience amazing performances and explore new ideas through television and online content.

Gimme Shelter
The song “Gimme Shelter” expresses the urgency we all face to unite together as a planet, and offers us wisdom with the words “War, children, it’s just a shot away… Love, sister, it’s just a kiss away.” It really is that simple.
This track is the latest song from our new album, PFC 2: Songs Around the World. You can order your copy here.
