Tom Neilson: Trouble-Making Troubadour

Toni Cade Bambara famously said “the role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.” A true artist does much more than make things beautiful, although The Redneck certainly does want more beauty in the world. Really, an artist’s role is to illuminate our world. It is not merely to entertain us, but to challenge us to imagine what might be.

Tom Neilson does that, and much more.

Tom comes from a rural background with deep farming roots. He is a musician, an activist, a spoken word artist, and a baseball player. I know Tom personally, and I promise you will want to join this one live so you can engage him in conversation.
