ABOUT THE BACK TO THE ROOTS TOUR:
rEvolutionary hip hop for justice
queer riot-folk for liberation
Hip-Hop has been gentrified. Folk music has been watered down. Punk rock sold out. Inbthe face of this mainstream betrayal, two 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
