Highlights from “I, Too, Sing America”

October 30, 2020
Austin, Texas

As Election Day drew near, Inversion took a moment to reflect on our critically acclaimed 2018 concert I, Too, Sing America. Performed only weeks before the mid-term elections, this concert focused on our shared history spanning subjects including the Salem witch trials, women's suffrage, gun violence, the history of resistance, and our modern political strife.
