Rousing, rebellious and downright rocking: David Rovics

Riot-folk musician David Rovics is headed downunder for a series of rousing, rebellious, and downright rocking shows.

Described as the musical voice of the US progressive movement, Rovics has spent most of his time on the road since the mid-90s, playing hundreds of shows every year throughout North America, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Japan. Regularly sharing the stage with the likes of Billy Bragg and the Indigo Girls, Rovics' has been called "a great gale of invigorating fresh air".

Over a hundred of his uniquely provocative and satirical songs are available for free download via his website - www.davidrovics.com. There's even something special for the ankle-biters, a full album of Rovics' 'Pirate Songs for Kids', also available for free download.

David Rovics will make you laugh, he will make you cry, and he will make the revolution irresistible. In the words of folk music legend Pete Seeger, "Listen to David Rovics."
