Join us on Tuesday (15 March 2016)\u00a0at 7:00 PM\u00a0at All Souls Church.<\/p>\n

Admission is $18.00 at the door or you can pay what you are able.<\/p>\n

“This Machine” is ninety minutes of Roy Zimmerman’s hilarious,
\nrhyme-intensive original songs.<\/p>\n

The title is a reference to Woody\u00a0Guthrie and Pete Seeger to be sure but also an acknowledgement that songwriting does good work in the world.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I think satire is the most hopeful and heartfelt form of expression\u00a0because in calling out the world’s absurdities and laughing in their face, I’m affirming the real possibility of change. —\u00a0Roy Zimmerman<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Roy\u2019s songs have been heard\u00a0on HBO and Showtime. \u00a0He’s shared the stage with Bill Maher, Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres, John Oliver, Kate Clinton, and George Carlin.<\/p>\n

He’s been profiled on NPR’s All Things Considered<\/em> and he’s a
\nfeatured blogger for the Huffington Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Here are some of Roy’s songs:<\/p>\n
