IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Due to visa issues, David Rovics has not been able to gain access to New Zealand and is unlikely to complete this show as advertised.

“Phil Ochs is not dead. He’s reincarnated in the body of David Rovics”
Folkworld Magazine.
“… the peace poet and troubadour for our time.” Cindy Sheehan
If the great Phil Ochs were to rise from the dead today, he would probably be hailed as the new David Rovics.
