Connections: Singer and activist Bethany Yarrow

As a child, singer Bethany Yarrow was surrounded by a family of activists who loved folk music. That's because her father is Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul, and Mary. As an adult, her musical tastes drifted to other genres, but eventually, she went back to her roots and was inspired by how folk music can convey important messages.

She and her partner, cellist Rufus Capadoccia, have performed and participated in demonstrations all over the world in support of causes like the environmental movement, the Dakota Access Pipeline, and more.

Yarrow is in town for a performancein the Finger Lakes, but first, she's our guest on Connections. We talk to her about her activism and music with meaning.

Megan Mack is the executive producer of "Connections with Evan Dawson" and live/televised engagement programming.
