Peg Millett is a powerful and deeply moving a cappella singer whose music, stories and testimony reweave and recreate human consciousness about the earth and the self. She has been unwavering in her commitment to act against the destruction of the earth's dwindling diversity of plants and animals. From 1991-1993 she was famously (infamously?) imprisoned for her environmental activism in defense of sacred lands, after being convicted of aiding in the destruction of ski lift pylons on the San Francisco Peaks in Northern Arizona, mountains holy to all local indigenous groups. Since her release she has been 'singing her activism,' giving concerts and lectures on social and environmental issues for colleges and universities, at demonstrations, conferences, festivals and coffeehouses, and to aid numerous nonprofit organizations such as the International Native Forest Network, Earth First! and the Nuclear Resister.

Through her small independent label, Hidden Waters Music, she has released two tapes and a CD. Her first, "Gentle Warrior," has sold over 3000 copies; the second, "Clear Horizon," is selling as rapidly as the first and has been aired on many national and international public and community radio stations. A third album is in the works. She says, "I sing to help sustain the soul, to hold out hope, to name sadness, to inspire, to call to arms, to worship and to grieve. The songs on my albums are about the forest, the beauty of wild things, the loss of the West, how a bird sounds, the feeling of the cool of the day and the ugliness that corrupts people's souls." more...
