ReZist is ninety minutes of Roy Zimmermans original songs, a funny and forceful affirmation of Peace and Social Justice. Sometimes I think satire is the most hopeful and heartfelt form of expression, says Roy, because in calling out the world's absurdities and laughing in their face, I'm affirming the real possibility for change.

Roys songs have been heard on HBO and Showtime. He's shared stages with Bill Maher, Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres, John Oliver, Kate Clinton and George Carlin. He's been profiled on NPR's "All Things Considered," and he's a featured blogger for the Huffington Post.

PRESS:

"Zimmerman displays a lacerating wit and keen awareness of society's foibles that bring to mind a latter-day Tom Lehrer."
--The Los Angeles Times

"I congratulate Roy Zimmerman on reintroducing literacy to comedy songs. And the rhymes actually rhyme, they don't just 'rhyne.'"
--Tom Lehrer

"Roy's lyrics move beyond poetry and achieve perfection."
--Joni Mitchell

"Roy Zimmerman lifted the evening with his song 'Chickenhawk' ridiculing the military policies of Bush administration officials who didn't serve in the armed forces. Zimmerman's squawking and clucking conveyed his scorn with contagious irreverence."
-- The New York Times

"Zimmerman is a guy on the left skewering folks on the right with rapier-sharp lyrics ... underneath the caustic satire is a man who is surprisingly optimistic."
-- Sing Out!

"It was great to hear all those old Foremen songs again, and to be reminded of your lyrical brilliance. Just excellent."
-- "Weird Al" Yankovic
