When She Speaks I hear Revolution.

Angie Evans: Even before I officially heard a song by Angie Evans, I was sold. Why? Angie has a sticker that says “I love ice cream, trees, orgasms, Angie Evans, hugs, & feminism.” At the festival, I was one of the few who didn’t know who Angie Evans was. For those unfamiliar with Angie, she’s a queer musician who embraces the butch look, and wears it extremely well. Most of the women-loving-women in the audience were totally taken with her, and when Angie said anything that could be construed in a sexual manner, oh believe me, it was taken that way. Angie is an unapologetic feminist (check out the hot tats! WIN!) and combines her liberal political leaning into music that leans toward jazzy, which is an unusual medium in my experience. For the show, as she was solo-ing it, her music all went from jazzy to full on acoustic style, and she rocked it. Her songs ranged from love songs to songs with feminist calls to action.

If you haven’t heard of Angie, I suggest you take some time to check out her music. Just do it. Don’t worry, this blog entry will still be here when you get back.

Oh yeah. And she signed my sticker. I’m totally sold on Angie Evans.
