Which Side?: a Protest Music Teach-out
1 upcoming show.
Which Side?: A Protest Music Teach-Out is a monthly concert and discussion series that celebrates and explores protest music. The events feature local musicians performing covers and originals inspired by James Sullivan’s book "Which Side Are You On?: 20th Century American History in 100 Protest Songs", and include commentary and panel discussions. The series has been held in venues such as the Burren in Somerville and the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, attracting a diverse lineup of artists from punk to reggae. It aims to demonstrate that protest music extends beyond classic figures like Bob Dylan.
