Hip-Hop has been gentrified. Folk music has been watered down. Punk rock sold 
out. In the face of this mainstream betrayal, some of the movement’s most 
dynamic performers have joined forces to take their respective genres back to 
the roots, celebrating the role of music in people’s resistance to oppression 
around the word. Evan Greer and spiritchild are revolutionary artists from 
radically different musical styles who share a common commitment to using their 
craft as a tool and a weapon in direct support of grassroots struggles for 
change. For this concert only, they are joined by legendary labor singer Anne 
Feeney, who on four previous tours celebrating Generations of Resistance 
through music.

These inspiring musicians are as likely to be found at an organizing meeting or 
a protest as on the stage at a club or festival. They don’t just sing about the 
struggle, they live it every day through constant work in their communities. 
spiritchild is the founder of Movement in Motion, an international organization 
of artists and activists who work collectively to use their art to educate and 
fight for freedom. Evan is a member of the Riot-Folk! Collective, a group of 9 
singer/songwriters who collectively distribute their political music, raise 
money for various grassroots causes, and create alternatives tothe corporate 
music industry. Anne has worked as a labor activist and community organizer for 
decades, performing at rallies, picket lines and demonstrations around the 
country and abroad.
