Folk music as a riot

Making folk a threat again...
“We are an anti-profit mutual-aid collective of radical artists and musicians. We make music to provoke, educate, heal and inspire.”



Riot-Folk began as an idea floating around the ears of some radical musicians in the summer of 2004. With the aid of modern technology, word of mouth, and mutual friends— a small group of folks had a chance to explore this idea and become a part of creating a radical music collective. Kate Boverman, Ryan Harvey, Tom Frampton, Brenna Sahatjian, Mark Gunnery, Ethan Miller, Evan Greer and Adhamh Roland had been dreaming for months about this project. The group decided that sharing resources like contacts, a website, recording equipment, and funds would help promote each other’s music.
