Rye’n Clover is a songwriter and radical organizer from Ithaca, NY who is featured on the recently released Earth First! 30th Anniversary CD compilation. He has been on the frontlines of the fight to stop gas fracking in upstate New York. This October he’s going on tour with some friends playing shows and offering a variety of workshops for DIY and radical communities.
Along with playin’ music, gardening and living in an awesome collective house he’s involved with an anarchist social center called Silent City Distro. He’s traveling with another musician, Stefan Fink and together and their looking for house show venues that emphasize safer spaces and are open to all ages.
