Biography

Evan Greer is twenty-something years old and lives somewhere between the Greyhound bus and your couch. Equally at home leading singalongs in a union hall or sweating in a basement punk show, her lyrically driven and energetic songs speak to radicals and hellraisers of all generations. Her powerful voice and presence often lead her to leave the microphone and stage and stand facing the crowd with nothing but an acoustic guitar and a whole lot of passion. At once intensely personal and analytical, these are songs that will leave you saying, “Yes, me too,” and also, “I never thought of it that way. ” They are songs to sing and clap along to and songs to remind you that you’re not the only one.

Since leaving school in 2005, Evan has toured extensively across North America and Europe, and shared stages with performers like Billy Bragg, Tom Morello of (Rage Against the Machine), Immortal Technique, Chumbawamba, Emma’s Revolution, Charlie King, Pamela Means, Defiance, Ohio, Leftöver Crack, The Coup, Citizen Fish, and Mr Lif. In fall of 2005 she spent six weeks on the road with legendary labor singer Anne Feeney.

Evan seeks to use her music as a tool for spreading social movements and building communities of resistance. She sees music not as a commodity to be bought-and-sold, but as a powerful weapon in the culture-war, and offers all of her recordings for free download online. She does not believe in copyright. First and foremost she is dedicated to organizing and activism, and uses her tours to promote and often fundraise for various grassroots campaigns.

    When did he ever say he grew up poor? What kind of upbringing do you think he should have had then, plagueship? Does one truly have to be born poor to grow up an anarchist? Are the merits of Activism measured by the private school you attended? Are you really trying to take away the passion of his songs by bringing the fact that he came from money to light? Was Alexander Supertramp's odyssey any less inspiring because he came from money? You know, its completely possible to abandon your family's wealth, even temporarily, to live on the road and write protest songs. And mean it.

    evan greer attended a $35k/yr private school in the suburbs of boston. he is a spoiled middle class brat just like most of the rest of the "anarchists" and the "folk punk" scene. sorry, but it's true. the school is called cambridge school of weston and their site is csw.org. and if you have any doubt that these scenes reflect middle class upbringings and attitudes, then i only want to ask you... where did you come from?
