Satirical singer-songwriter brimming with heart and hilarity
In the current national nightmare, we need to laugh. And we need to hope. Roy Zimmerman's signature blend of heart and hilarity has never been more necessary.
In a career spanning more than thirty years, Roy's songs have been heard on HBO and Showtime, and his videos have garnered tens of millions of views on social media. With his satirical folk quartet The Foremen he recorded for Warner/Reprise Records.
Roy has shared stages with Bill Maher, Ellen DeGeneres, Holly Near, Robin Williams, Arlo Guthrie, John Oliver, The Roches, Andy Borowitz, The Chambers Brothers, Kate Clinton and George Carlin.
RiZe Up is Roy's tenth album release as a solo artist. It's a funny and forceful expression of resistance in the age of Trump. "Satire empowers people," says Roy. “To laugh is to fight back. To hope is to fight back.”
Come join us, meet Roy, and hear what he is doing to help us all laugh and fight back.
