: About David Rovics:
:
: David Rovics has been called the musical voice of the progressive
: movement in the US. His performances are thoroughly entertaining, a
: mixture of music, comedy, and social commentary. Since the mid-'90s
: Rovics has spent most of his time on the road, playing hundreds of
: shows every year throughout North America, Europe, Latin America and
: the Middle East. He and his songs have been featured on national
: radio programs in the US, Canada, Britain, Ireland, Italy, Sweden,
: Denmark and elsewhere. He has shared the stage regularly with leading
: intellectuals (Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn), activists (Medea Benjamin,
: Ralph Nader), politicians (Dennis Kucinich, George Galloway),
: musicians (Billy Bragg, the Indigo Girls), and celebrities (Martin
: Sheen, Susan Sarandon). He has performed at dozens of massive rallies
: throughout North America and Europe and at thousands of conferences,
: college campuses, and folk clubs throughout the world. He has more
: than a dozen releases since 1998, and makes all of his recordings
: available for free download on his website, www.davidrovics.com. More
: importantly, he's really good. He will make you laugh, he will make
: you cry, and he will make the revolution irresistible.
