His extensive repertoire includes songs inspired by various political movements, historical events, and contemporary issues, ranging from labor rights and anti-globalization to the Black Lives Matter movement and the struggle against climate change.

Rovics has released over 20 albums and has toured extensively across North America, Europe, and Australia, performing at numerous rallies, protests, and festivals. His music has been praised for its honesty, authenticity, and powerful message, making him a beloved and respected figure in the world of protest music.

"Absolutely brilliant. David Rovics says exactly what needs to be said." - Ian McMillan, BBC

About Addi Road's Food Relief program:

Every week we divert over 8 tonnes of food from landfill and provide food to more than 8,000 people – through our two Addi Road Food Pantries, Mobile Food Pantry, and Food Relief Hub.

*Donations are the lifeblood of our food relief efforts. We are not government funded.*

  • There will be food stalls and a bar, and some great local support acts.

  • Check out the Addi Road website to find out more about what we do.
