To the Roots

Catch my brand new radio show “To the Roots” on OzcatRadio.com, every monday night / tuesday morning from 12-midnight to 2am!

It’s common for newspapers to use “Radical” to mean “crazy” or “extremist” but nothing could be further from the truth, to be “radical” literally means to go “to the roots” of an issue, to dig past the spin and hype and look at the situation as it really is.

This show is a musical journey across five continents to find the common threads, the common roots to our struggle for freedom in the face of all odds and despite the best efforts of the global ruling class to atomize us into separate and disconnected fragments incapable of working together.  Finding those common roots gives us all strength and puts the struggle into context.  As Utah Phillips used to say, the most powerful weapon of the working class is the Long Memory  – the knowledge of where we’ve been that can help us figure out where we’re going and how we’re going to get there.

I play celtic trad and fusion, folk, rock, funk, hip hop, reggae, and more – all music with a message and music that speaks to something deeper then the fake commercial garbage I always hear on the corporate radio stations.

Big ups to OzcatRadio.com for providing a voice for the community and stepping outside the status quo to create something really valuable.  The station has a live video chat set up so you can talk to the dj’s while they’re on air and send in requests or you can grab the audio-only feed direct from Ozcatradio.com.  Look out for podcasts coming soon!
