Victoria Peace Coalition Presents: An Evening of Music and Conversation with David Rovics
by
VPC
Come and spend an evening with anti-war folksinger and songwriter David Rovics. Rovics, who has been compared with Phil Ochs and Pete Seeger, is an activist and a peace poet for our times.
Wikipedia says, "His provocative and catchy lyrics bring to mind a modern-day Woody Guthrie" and Folkworld Magazine says, "Phil Ochs is not dead. He's reincarnated in the body of David Rovics."

Here's a short bio from David's website. http://www.davidrovics.com/bio.php
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, the Middle East and Japan. He and his songs have been
featured on national radio programs in the US, Canada, Britain,
Ireland, Italy, Sweden, Denmark and elsewhere.
He has shared the stage
regularly with leading intellectuals (Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn),
activists (Medea Benjamin, Ralph Nader), politicians (Dennis Kucinich,
George Galloway), musicians (Billy Bragg, the Indigo Girls), and
celebrities (Martin Sheen, Susan Sarandon).
He has performed at dozens
of massive rallies throughout North America and Europe and at thousands
of conferences, college campuses and folk clubs throughout the world.
More importantly, he's really good. He will make you laugh, he will
make you cry, and he will make the revolution irresistable.
