Evan
Greer is a radical genderqueer singer/songwriter, community organizer
and popular educator based in Boston. Evan writes and performs high
energy acoustic songs that inspire hope, build community, and incite
resistance! At 25 years old, Evan tours internationally as a musician
and facilitates interactive workshops to support movements for justice
and liberation. With fiercely radical songs that vary in style from
punk-folk to foot-stompin bluegrass, Evan has shared stages with artists
as musically diverse as Pete Seeger, Immortal Technique, Billy Bragg,
Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Boots Riley of The Coup, Pamela
Means, Oi Polloi, State Radio, Leftover Crack, The Mammals, Defiance
Ohio, and Chumbawamba.
"Evan Greer is an
eloquent and energetic writer. (S)he reminds me of Phil Ochs."
--Howard Zinn,
author of A People's History of the United States
"Evan
Greer continues to write inspiring folk music in the tradition of the
great protest singers... and (s)he's a heck of a guitar player. I
suspect that songs like 'Ya Basta!' and 'Picketline Song' will be heard
at the barricades for years to come."
--Tom Morello, guitarist of Rage
Against the Machine
