(MATAWAN, NJ) -- New Jersey based recording Artist, music producer and activist Arlan Feiles is travelling to Detroit, Michigan to perform his award winning song "Viola" to pay homage to slain Civil Rights Martyr Viola Gregg Liuzzo. Michigan dignitaries and The Liuzzo family will attend a Viola Liuzzo statue unveiling at Viola Liuzzo Park in North Detroit Tuesday July 23rd at 11:00am. At the event, there will be remarks made by State representatives and the Liuzzo Family followed by a March around Viola Gregg Liuzzo Park.
This will not be the first time Feiles has performed at such an event with the Viola Liuzzo family. Arlan also performed at a memorial service for Viola at the 50th anniversary of the march on Montgomery in Selma, Alabama.
In 2018, Feils gave a Tedx talk in Asbury Park, NJ about his song Viola, his experience traveling to Selma and the need for following your passion to make for a better world. Viola died when members of the Ku Klux Klan fired upon her vehicle on Rte 80 between Selma and Montgomery. Viola was the only white woman murdered during the civil rights era.

(NEWTON, NJ) -- Few musical artists résumés list membership in a band inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame; fewer still can lay claim to being a founding member of the seminal band credited with creating Country Rock; and only one artist can include all the above in addition to being one half of the most successful duos of the 1970s: Jim Messina. He's been a member of Buffalo Springfield and would go on to form the band Poco and then Loggins & Messina with Kenny Loggins.
