Evan Greer, Broadcast Live, Elle Niņo, Adhamh Roland
Thursday October 29, 2009
$10-$20 sliding scale - 8-11pm
The Steel Strings and Break Beats Tour 2009 with Evan Greer and Broadcast Live are coming to the Bay Area on October 29th, 2009, at the famed La Peña Cultural Center. The committed musicians of Steel Strings and Break Beats resist genre and fight for inspiring music by fusing the social justice roots of Hip Hop, the DIY ethics of Punk Rock, and the soapbox troubadour tradition of folk music.
Hailing from New York, Broadcast Live is a political Hip Hop group, touring with their latest album, Boomerang Metropolis, which reached #25 on the CMJ Hip Hop Charts.
Evan Greer is a singer/songwriter based in Boston, MA and a member of the well known Riot-Folk Collective. He writes and performs high energy acoustic songs that inspire hope, build community, and incite resistance.
Also performing will be midwest to Bay Area TRANS-plant and fellow Riot-Folk member, Adhamh Roland. The evening will also feature the up and coming Bay Area based electro funk band: Elle Niño.
A portion of the proceeds from this event will be donated to P.O.W.E.R. (People Organized to Win Employment Rights) which works to build the collective strength of working class communities of color.
