This was one of the first songs I ever wrote. From my old demo, very rough recording.

Artist picture
High-energy political folk with powerful lyrics and an innovative acoustic sound.
Hey Friends, I am Evan Greer, a radical singer/songwriter originally from Boston. My songs roam from the romance of a trainyard to the frontlines of the class-war. My style is sort of aggressive folk. I envision a world where people are free to live their lives in the way that they choose, and where our social interactions are based on love, mutual aid, and solidarity, rather than exploitation and greed. My songs are for anyone who has ever envisioned such a world, anyone who has ever fought for one, and anyone who ever thought that one was impossible, but wished it weren't so.

Lyrics
well let me tell ya, 'bout my bad blues. well they're so bad that every label has refused. yeah lemme tell ya' 'bout the white-boy blues. well there's nothin' here for me, i'm bound to lose, cuz nobody wants to hear a white-boy sing the blues. i went to the doctor to cure my blues. said, "doctor doctor, gimme some good news!" and he told me, and he told me the truth: "you ain't got the soul for it, better find yourself a day job kid." nobody wants to hear a white-boy sing the blues. i went to the reverend to find my soul. maybe i'll have better luck with rock and roll, well he told me, well he told me the truth. "you'll never make the ringer, you're obviously a left-winger. you could find a job as a folk singer." nobody wants to hear a white-boy sing the blues.
