   About David Rovics

Hey folks,

Welcome to my space here in MySpace. My main website is www.davidrovics.com. There you can find lots of available for free download, get on my email list, read my bio, reviews, buy CD's, t-shirts, posters, songbooks, etc. I also have a blog for more "finished" journalistic type writing at www.songwritersnotebok.blogspot.com.

D from Ever Reviled Records keeps my upcoming gigs here pretty well updated, but for the most up-to-date list of gigs go to my "gigs" page at www.davidrovics.com.

And if you were looking for a real description of who is this guy, well, let's see... In a paragraph... I'm a musician, I like to write songs about how the world is going to hell and what people are trying to do about it. I spend much of my time playing concerts throughout North America, Europe and occasionally elsewhere. I have a lovely daughter. I'm polyamorous. I like hot tubs, good weed, good espresso, old-growth forests, mass social upheaval, and probably a few other things, and when I'm not on tour I'm often to be found at home in Portland, Oregon.

Hope to see you on the road and in the streets!

--David

He who attempts to control another is a governor, an aggressor, an invader; and the nature of such invasion is not changed, whether it is made by one man upon another man ... or by all other men upon one man, after the manner of a modern democracy. (Benjamin R. Tucker)
