Evan Greer - Queer Riot Folk from Boston, USA

Evan Greer is a radical genderqueer singer/songwriter, parent, and community organizer based in Boston. (S)he writes and performs high-energy acoustic songs that inspire hope, build community, and incite resistance! At 25 years old, Evan tours internationally as a musician and facilitates interactive workshops to support movements for justice and liberation. Wielding an arsenal of fiercely radical songs that vary in style from pop-punk poetry to foot-stompin' bluegrass singalongs, Evan has shared stages with artists as musically diverse as Pete Seeger, Immortal Technique, Billy Bragg, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Boots Riley of The Coup, Pamela Means, Oi Polloi, State Radio, Leftover Crack, The Mammals, Citizen Fish, Defiance Ohio, and Chumbawamba.

Al Baker  - Folk Punk from Manchester

On January 1st, 2006, after a particularly unsuccesful New Year's Eve, Al Baker was sitting in his smoke-filled, mirrorless bedroom listening to Phil Ochs, Billy Bragg and Riot Folk records. It suddenly occured to him that, hell, this folk music lark didn't sound all that difficult, so he picked up his rusting, neglected 12-string guitar, played three chords, ranted for three minutes about Rupert Murdoch and, before he knew it, had written his first song. He's been playing Folk Punk ever since.

James Bar Bowen - Acoustic Punk from Huddersfield

James 'Bar' Bowen is a singer, songwriter, guitarist, raconteur and all round good bloke. He has performed his original folky/punky/acoustic songs all over the world, as well as hosting gigs and festivals in his own house, doing performance and songwriting workshops, regularly standing in as punkrock radio DJ on Phoenix FM in Halifax, doing DIY recordings for friends and himself, reviewing CDs and gigs, translating German punk songs and brewing huge quantities of very drinkable homebrew. His songs and performance are urgent, relevant, caustic, optimistic, poetic, original and sometimes even beautiful.
