Her wonderful CD\, “An Atheist Album\,” includes such great songs as “I Don’t Believe in Fairies\,” “Gratitude\,” and her very first single\, “Saved\,” a folk protest song which has become an anthem for the freethought community. \nPlease join us for a FREE concert featuring the eclectic Shelley Segal. \nPizza will be provided.
