The wait is over! Political satirist singer/songwriter Roy Zimmerman returns to the Tampa Bay area after many years with his unique blend of humor and social commentary. His music is a funny and forceful expression of resistance in the age of Trump. As Roy says: “In the current national nightmare, we need to laugh. And we need to hope. To laugh is to fight back. To hope is to fight back.” In a career spanning more than thirty years, Roy’s songs have been heard on HBO and Showtime, and his videos have garnered tens of millions of views on social media. He recently released his tenth album as a solo artist, “RiZe Up.” The concert will be held in the historic Spanish Colonial Revival-style Unitarian Universalist Church on Mirror Lake. Roy’s signature blend of heart and hilarity has never been more timely. Don’t miss this rare appearance!
