Roy Zimmerman - "THIS MACHINE" Tour
No Depression magazine writes "Without a doubt Roy Zimmerman is among the most important political commentators of the past few decades. With music this good and humor this insightful there is good reason to be optimistic."
The Los Angeles Times says, "Zimmerman displays a lacerating wit and keen awareness of society's foibles that bring to mind a latter-day Tom Lehrer."
Tom Lehrer himself says, "I congratulate Roy Zimmerman on reintroducing literacy to comedy songs.'"
Joni Mitchell says, "Roy's lyrics move beyond poetry and achieve perfection."
Roy Zimmerman tours constantly, taking his funny songs about fracking, creationism, marijuana laws, government shutdown, same-sex marriage, guns, taxes and abstinence across the country, often playing in some of the least Progressive places in America for the most Progressive people there - the "Blue Dots" he calls them. In thirteen albums over twenty years, Roy Zimmerman has brought the sting of satire to the struggle for Peace and Social Justice. His songs have been heard on HBO and Showtime. He has recorded for Warner/Reprise Records. Zimmermanʼs YouTube videos have amassed over seven million views. Heʼs been profiled on NPRʼs "All Things Considered," and heʼs a featured blogger for the Huffington Post. The world is full of funny songs, but Zimmermanʼs hilarious, rhyme-intensive originals are also incisive calls to action, smart, savvy and undeniable.
