Text Prose & RocknRoll Special: Protest Songs & Songs for our Times

Text, Prose & RocknRoll

In this special Rock Talk Drop, we sample some of the recent (2020-2021) songs that best speak to our world today, as curated by Kris Kosach.

Forget the protest songs of the past. 2020 and 2021 have brought grace and harmony during a time of social unrest, political turmoil and a pandemic …all in the form of music.

Music has the ability to heal and bring people together. So with that in mind we present a sample of contemporary protest songs and those that speak to our times. We at Text Prose & Rock N Roll believe in supporting the artists who made these songs, so we will only play a small portion to pique your interest (Found below). You will find links to all of these artists and links to purchase their songs in the show notes from todays episode.
