Local musicians team up to send anti-Trump message

MELROSE, Mass. - EntSun -- Six Boston-area musicians have donated their time and talents to a project called Musicians for Democracy (www.musiciansfordemocracy.com).

They recorded two songs – Lies, Lies, Lies and You Can't Fool Me – that call out President Trump for his assault on democracy, a free press, immigrants and the environment (among his many other transgressions).

The songs have been aired on radio stations in six states. Radio hosts across the country are reporting an unprecedented number of protest music.

Singer-songwriter Howie Newman organized Musicians for Democracy in May 2019 with the goals of 1) raising awareness of the threat to our freedom and democratic principles, and 2) supporting candidates who uphold traditional democratic ideals.
