Evan Greer is a singer/songwriter, community organizer, and popular educator based in Boston. He writes and performs high-energy acoustic songs that inspire hope, build community, and incite resistance! At 24 years old, he tours internationally and performs inspiring music to support movements for justice and liberation. With his fiercely radical songs varying in style from punk-folk to foot-stomp?n bluegrass, Evan has shared the stage with artists as diverse as folk legend Pete Seeger, underground hip-hop star Boots Riley, Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, and rapper Immortal Technique. Recently, Evan toured across the country with activist hip-hop group Broadcast Live as part of the Steal Strings and Breakbeats tour. www.myspace.com/evangreer  

Currently based in Philadelphia, Geppetta creates mystical creatures and imaginary, yet nostalgic landscapes from recycled materials with a whimsical fervor. Her work features enchanting stories as told through puppet theater, multimedia art, and musical interludes that has been described as ?mournful but ingenious? with delightful twists and turns. Her performance style has an ever-evolving nature that spills from theaters to subway cars, galleries to street corners and interweaves social justice issues, such as transgender liberation, queer activism, environmental justice, post-colonial struggles, youth education, and mental health support. Geppetta has been featured nationally with the Tranny Roadshow, the Femme Show, Puppet Uprising, Fresh Meat Productions, and Red Sun Press. www.stitchingtentacles.wordpress.com.
