Appleseed Recordings Artists Rebecca Riots present fresh, radical folk with inspiring originals that blend an intense dedication to social justice with an irresistible, welcoming attitude and lots of humor. Some say Rebecca Riots (Eve Decker, Andrea Prichett and Lisa Zeiler) represents the "Berkeley" in us all. Maybe that's part of the reason they are loved by a wide spectrum of audiences across the United States. Always a healing, life-affirming experience, each Rebecca Riots show brims with distinctive vocals, powerful lyrics, soaring three part harmonies, and the warmest, most engaging stage presence you're likely to find anywhere. Love songs do happen, but “the Riots” are also known for their intense, topical songs with themes of political change and spiritual healing.
Because the music reflects the deep involvement the band has with its community and political issues, it is often invited to play benefit concerts and has supported a wide array of causes including defense of the environment, liberation radio, gay marriage, opposition to the war, and many others. Of course they have their pet projects, too. Since Andrea works with and was a founder of Copwatch, police accountability is a high priority. Eve’s love of meditation has led her to activism on behalf of Burma’s oppressed and disenfranchised majority.
From 1993-2004 they released five CDs, were signed to Appleseed Recordings, and toured the United States several times. Festival performances include the Vancouver Folk Festival, the Seattle Folklife Festival, Bumbershoot, the Salina Folk Festival, Hopland Women’s Music Festival, an award at the Napa Valley Folk Festival and more. Although the band stopped performing for some time, the members kept writing songs. The Riots are currently making plans to produce a new CD. Check the website for details!
