Riot-Folk Convergence + 1-year Anniversary! (Nov 18-25)

It's been one year since we formed the Riot-Folk Collective and we are celebrating it in the bay-area! We are a collective of 8 radical activists and folk musicians (Brenna Sahatjian, Ethan Miller, Kate Boverman, Ryan Harvey, Anna Roland, Evan Greer, Mark Gunnery, and Tom Frampton) who write, perform, and distribute radical folk music at no-to-low costs. We are anti-profit and exist to further the struggle against capitalism and oppression.

***All of our shows are donation-optional benefits or they are free, no one is ever turned away for not having money or not wanting to pay.***

That being said, here are a bunch of shows we are playing from November 18-25. Please come out and check the music out, help raise some cash for relief efforts in New Orleans, jailed anti-facists in Toledo, OH, and post-FTAA summit legal efforts in Argentina!
