Dancing on the Ruins: On Music and Politics w/ Casey Neill (G&R 197)

How has music inspired politics, and vice versa?

In our latest episode, we talk with activist and musician Casey Neill (@caseyneill) about music, politics, influences, story-telling and environmentalism in a world where nothing is normal anymore. 

We also note the passing this week of two renowned Vietnam War scholars- John Prados and George Herring. 

Casey Neill is a Portland, Oregon-based singer/songwriter known for blending politically oriented folk with Celtic, punk, country, and other styles. Originally from the East Coast but moved to Olympia, Washington to attend Evergreen State University, where he became interested in environmentalism and protest music. Throughout the mid-'90s, Neill worked in the Pacific Northwest underground music scene, self-releasing a handful of cassettes and CDs before signing with the Appleseed label.
