A wonderful idea for Valentines Day, 2002, the intimate atmosphere of the Powerhouse Brewing Co., a nice cold pint of their award winning brew and the sharp social commentary and inspiring music of David Rovics. February 14, 2002, 8:00 p.m., at the Powerhouse Brewing Co. Sebastopol, Admission is $10.
David Rovics is a folksinger of the rabble-rousing variety. He has become something of a fixture in the American protest scene, performing at demonstrations throughout the country. David sings original songs about the various struggles of the day, combining accomplished bluegrass-style flat-picking with incisive lyrics. His fifth CD, Living In These Times, was recorded in September 2001, most of it done live at Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs, New York. It includes songs about the September 11th tragedy in New York City as well as many songs focusing on the evils of US foreign policy such as the sanctions and bombing of Iraq, songs about the media, shutting down international financial institutions, and songs promoting polyamory and strange bicycles.
David also sings many songs of other activist-oriented contemporary songwriters such as Jim Page, and those of a variety of 20th-century songwriters such as Joe Hill, Woody Guthrie, and Phil Ochs.
