Emma's Revolution is acoustic music with the energy and strength of its convictions filled with hauntingly beautiful harmonies and engaging, intelligent lyrics from award-winning activist songwriters.

"Bold, profound, moving, hilarious and transformative," emma's revolution is the duo of award-winning, activist musicians, Pat Humphries and Sandy O, whose songs become traditions. Peace, Salaam, Shalom is sung around the world and has been called the "anthem of the anti-war movement." In the spirit of Emma Goldman's famous attribution, "If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution," emma's revolution brings their uprising of truth, hope and a dash of healthy irreverence to concerts and peace and justice events across the US.
