David Rovics has been called the musical voice of the progressive movement in the US. According to Andy Kershaw, "David Rovics is a guy George W. Bush would probably like to clamp in chains at Guantanamo Bay -- the last American protest singer (or so it seems)... In these days of ongoing neo-conservatism he carries the torch of dissent and protest -- in fact if the great Phil Ochs were to come back from the dead tonight he'd probably be hailed as the new David Rovics."

Since the mid-90’s Rovics has spent most of his time on the road, playing hundreds of shows every year throughout North America, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. His MP3’s are available for free download on his website, www.davidrovics.com, along with CDs, links, etc.

Mat Callahan and Yvonne Moore are a duo based in Switzerland who are joining Dave on this tour. If you were a union activist, anti-war activist or anti-apartheid activist in the late 60s and 70s, chances are you were inspired by the powerful music of Mat Callahan and Prairie Fire. In the 80s he was the leader of The Looters.
