Roy Zimmerman

Roy Zimmerman is a Californian satirical singer-songwriter and guitarist with outspoken left-wing opinions. He began his career as founder of the Southern California folk quartet The Foremen, which performed at the national conventions of both major American political parties in 1996. Zimmerman then went on to become a solo act, writing and performing humorous songs on increasingly political subjects. Zimmerman said,

Zimmerman performed his song "Chickenhawk," an indictment of those who approve of militarism as long as they and no one they know has to be directly involved, at the counter-events to the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City. His songs are played regularly on the Doctor Demento show.

Roy Zimmerman lives and works in Marin County with his wife and frequent collaborator, Melanie Harby, and their sons Joe and Sam.
