Julie Beutel at the Peace Cafe

 Swords Into Plowshares Peace Center and Gallery invites you 

to a time and place to kick back and relax with friends

The evening will include a light meal of soup and bread with coffee, tea and lemonade.

Julie Beutel

Singer, song-leader, guitarist, teacher, activist & mother

Julie Beutel is a Detroit native.

She has traveled in several countries in Europe and Central America, 

working with Witness for Peace in Nicaragua during the war for almost 2 years. 

She sings at coffeehouses, concerts, fundraisers, funerals, 

memorial services, weddings, schools, libraries, 

senior centers, and house concerts. She has sung in jails, 

subway stations in Europe, soup kitchens, bars, 

nursing homes, churches, trains, plays, and peace marches. 

She has sung at the bedside of dying friends. 

She sang to a crowd of over 20,000 in DC (part of an anti-nuclear march), 

and once sang to 248 empty chairs. (There were two people in the audience.)

She has hosted more than 55 house  concerts in her home

featuring local acoustic musicians, and has led sacred singing/drumming circles.

Julie is not afraid to address painful, awkward, controversial or funny issues

in the songs she sings.  She especially loves the chance to sing what she 

passionately feels is the truth.
