Evan Greer at the Resistance Cafe

The Resistance Café presents April Featured Artist Evan Greer.

Evan Greer is a trans and queer activist, writer, and musician based in Boston. She’s the director of digital rights group Fight for the Future and writes regularly about the intersection of tech policy and human rights for the Washington Post, Time, NBC News, Wired, and CNN. Her last album Spotify is Surveillance was released by Don Giovanni Records and Get Better Records and featured by NPR, Rolling Stone and Pitchfork. While Greer is perhaps best known for her work as an organizer, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine calls her a “heck of a guitar player,” and her recordings have evolved from riot-folk roots to a more layered indie pop sound, with an anarcho-punk soul. Over the years she’s shared stages and collaborated with Pete Seeger, Talib Kweli, Against Me!, Ted Leo, Speedy Ortiz, Anjimile, The Blow, Eve 6, Chumbawamba, Ezra Furman, Immortal Technique, and Billy Bragg.

The Resistance Café is a monthly coffeehouse and open mic co-led and organized by First Parish Church Youth Group members plus youth and young adults from the greater community.

The Café is intended to serve as a platform for resistance to the rising tide of intolerance and illiberalism by providing a welcoming space for the voices and creativity of queer youth, young adults, and their allies.

Though youth and young-adult centric, all ages are welcome.

Doors open at 6:00, music starts at 7:00.

Entrance is on Briscoe Street.

Admission is free, though donations are gratefully accepted.

Refreshments available. No alcohol.
