Gerle Haggard Band

Gerle Haggard is proud to be a part of this wonderful series. You can learn more about While Rome Burns at WhileRomeBurns.org and our beneficiary Peace Village Global at PeaceVillageGlobal.org.WHILE ROME BURNS is a group of Portland-area musicians and artists formed in response to current social and political trends. Our mission is to leverage the power of music and community to support and affirm diversity and social justice in our neighborhoods, our communities and our world.We donate our time and craft through an ongoing series of events, providing music and a forum for various projects and organizations that support tolerance – religious, ethnic, gender and sexual orientation/identity – and advocate the celebration of our differences. We reject the politics of exclusion and believe that sharing through music and community is a path to a richer, more empathetic world.
