A benefit album for
Immigration Law & Justice Michigan
In 2017 I had the opportunity to get together with Tom Bartelmay (guitar), Jake Matthews (drums), and Trevor Lamb (bass) to record a collection of songs that arose out of the beginnings of the first Trump presidency. Then life happened and before we got them mixed and mastered, there was a new administration.
Unfortunately, the time has come back around to release these recordings as a benefit for ILJ Michigan as immigrant rights are again under attack. All proceeds from the sale of this album will be donated to ILJMI, so please share this page with those you know who care about taking steps toward justice for the marginalized.
This collection includes songs about meeting heroes like Rep. John Lewis, helping young people lead the way toward a better world, and calls for the spiritually minded to wake up and get to work for goodness.
Special thanks to those patrons that helped the songs get written. And thanks to you for helping this album generate some resources to help our neighbors.
Sincerely - CTG

why & how
Carl Thomas Gladstone believes that bringing about wholeness and goodness in the world takes craft and artisanship. Making the world a better place, and helping people be better goodness-makers takes time, patience, inspiration and a community to see the work through. Carl's pracitces of goodness-making are:
01. MUSIC
–
Carl's music is meant to lament the brokenness and call forth healing for the world. This music is completed when listeners become enactors of the glimpses of goodness they hear and sing along to. MORE
02. CONSPIRACY
–
Conspiring with others to make justice, love and mercy real in the world is where Carl gains insight and inspiration into what a healthy and whole world could be. MORE
03. STORY
–
Great stories are all around us. Carl's hope is that we can all learn to retell them well so as to engage the world in their promises. MORE
