DUE TO IMMIGRATION ISSUES PREVENTING DAVID ROVICS FROM ENTERING THE COUNTRY THIS SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
The peace poet/activist is back in New Zealand.
David Rovics grew up in a family of classical musicians in Wilton, Connecticut, and became a fan of populist regimes early on. By the early 90s he was a full-time busker in the Boston subways and by the mid-90s he was traveling the world as a professional flat-picking rabble-rouser. These days David lives in Portland, Oregon and tours regularly on four continents, playing for audiences large and small at cafes, pubs, universities, churches, union halls and protest rallies. He has shared the stage with a veritable whos who of the left in two dozen countries, and has had his music featured on Democracy Now!, BBC, Al-Jazeera and other networks. His essays are published regularly on CounterPunch and elsewhere, and the 200+ songs he makes available for free on the web have been downloaded more than a million times. Most importantly, hes really good. He will make you laugh, he will make you cry, he will make the revolution irresistible.
And with more than one million downloads of his inspiring political and socially conscious songs, as well as collaborations with the likes of Tom Morello, David Rovics is not to be missed.
