This dude is the Pete Seeger of this generation, glad he’s doing it.

Sold out concerts around the US and Canada. It's very telling.

He always reminded me of Woody Guthrie more than Pete Seeger. I think it's the talking cadence of his songs and the very on the nose lyrics.

Well I guess I should probably listen to some Pete Seeger now.

Thanks :)

The best kind of folk music.

Also, that guitar is gorgeous.

I've been playing this guy's music for a few weeks now on repeat. He's amazing.

Why the fuck do we have so few artists willing to sing about what's going on in the world?

It's not just songs about ICE. https://youtu.be/I6vjaimSK4E

This song came out right after the insurrection attempt https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/2020-visions

Because they all have brainrot from social media.

We are all "amusing ourselves to death".

Bartender, what is wrong with me?
Why am I so out of breath?
The captain said, "Excuse me, ma'am
This species has amused itself to death"

Gotta love Roger Waters ❤️

There's a studio version of it, but I honestly think his music is way better out in the weeds.

Either way, it's fucking fire.
