Ani DiFranco<\/a>, Zo\u00eb Boekbinder, Terence Higgins and more will be participating in a prison reform benefit livestream<\/a>, produced by Live From Out There and Righteous Babe.<\/p>\n

Prison Music Project Sessions: Long Time Gone<\/em> will air as an album release party for the compilation LP of the same name on June 12th at 9:00 p.m. EST via LiveXLive. In addition to performances, the livestream will feature call-in readings from incarcerated poets Spoon Jackson and Samual Brown and filmed performances by incarcerated musicians.<\/p>\n

Long Time Gone<\/em>, released on June 5th, was recorded by the non-profit artist collective the Prison Music Project<\/a> over the course of 10 years in a collaboration between free artists and incarcerated or formerly incarcerated songwriters. All proceeds from the album\u2019s sales will go toward the Southern Center for Human Rights<\/a>. Profits from the concert will benefit Sister Hearts Re-Entry Program and the Center for Life Without Parole Studies.<\/p>\n

Last month, DiFranco and Boekbinder shared one of the album\u2019s tracks, \u201cNowhere but Barstow and Prison,\u201d<\/a> penned by Spoon Jackson. \u201cThere are two million people in prison in the U.S. and each one of them has a story to tell. Nine of them are on this record,\u201d DiFranco told Rolling Stone<\/em>. \u201cThe stories and the music on Long Time Gone<\/em> are diverse in scope and sound, as are the people involved, but we are united in our humanity and in our hope for a more just justice system. In this time of human versus virus, when so many behind bars are sitting ducks, I hope we can address the reality of mass incarceration and fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n
