CAROL DENNEY: Bio Carol Denney has worked more than 25 years as a humorist, musician and social activist: voted "Best of the Bay 2001" by the San Francisco Bay Guardian, and "Best Solo Performer" in the 2002 East Bay Express' readers' poll, "BestFfemale Artis"t on Pirate Cat Radio 2010 . Her CDs "The Rich Will Never Be Poor" and "The Cruel Lullaby" feature innovative guitar and English concertina with support from session players Nina Gerber, Radim Zenkl, John Wetzel, and Brian Theriault. Denney's street theater reached infamy as the author of the comic cardboard saws (inscribed "I Came, I Saw...") which inspired the UC Regents $250,000 civil suit against her. The regents argued that her stage props and songs were responsible for People's Park's unrest in 1991. The Regents declared her a public figure in 1992 so that she could not sue them for defamation. Denney was part of Free Radio Berkeley's original clandestine crew, spending two years as "Laura Drawbridge" co-hosting "Thinking Globally, Revolting Locally" with Stephen Dunifer. Denney also wrote, produced and performed with the Jolly Roger Comedy Troupe, micropower radio's premiere comedy team. She was a featured actor in both George Coates'1999 and 2002 production, the "Mock City Council" playing the City Attorney, and is also the creator and editor of the satirical newspaper, The Pepper Spray Times. Denney is regularly featured in the Bay Area at the Freight and Salvage, Strings, San Francisco's LaborFest events, Napa, San Francisco, and Berkeley Folk Festivals and of course, picket lines and demonstrations. Denney has five recordings available; "North County Jail", "Failure to Disperse", "What If Love", and the CDs, "The Rich Will Never Be Poor" and "The Cruel Lullaby". contact: Carol Denney MSL 1970 San Pablo Ave #4 Berkeley, Ca 94702 (510) 548-1512 cdenney@igc.org http://www.caroldenney.com
