ABOUT
PROTEST: A Revolutionary Rock Opus
protest@buffalogalproductions.com
PROTEST pays tribute to the Women Activists that have made a substantial impact on their communities, politics, and the world! Together, these famous protesters ride the resurrected Freedom Bus to a variety of decades re-experiencing each Protest where they begin to create conversations to help understand one another and begin healing between races, generations, and the reason why we must protest for change.
The exciting NEW original Rock compositions in PROTEST transcend the decades. The songs were created for Protests ranging from the Civil Rights era to Black Lives Matter, Climate Change, Gun Violence, Voting rights and suppression, Women’s rights, Immigrant rights, and War. The inspiration for PROTEST came to fruition in the wake of George Floyd’s murder and the upheaval in the Twin Cities that followed. The Covid 19 pandemic left Artists with free time, unemployed, and the urge to help in whatever way they could. Several Artists (composers, lyricists, producers) signed on to help create these exciting new songs. PROTEST a Revolutionary Rock Opus was developed to not only give employment to artists, writers, composers, and lyricists in this time of COVID-19 but to give them an outlet to inspire change in our society through their music!

PROTEST, a Revolutionary Rock Opus is all about brave women and the movements that have defined them, in their communities, in politics and around the world. Women who’ve raised their fists and their voices in protest. No matter the cultural issue—gun violence, climate change, civil rights--women have been on the forefront, leading the protests and fighting for change.
In a time when COVID-19 dimmed the lights on live music venues and theaters around the world, PROTEST is proof that creativity cannot be silenced. And it’s in that spirit that we’re fighting to give voice—and provide employment--to the many talented artists, writers, composers and lyricists that are helping bring this rock event to life.
With your financial help, we can employ the many talented artists who are giving life to this revolutionary rock musical. We can bring history, hope and a potent “how to” lesson to a whole new generation of powerful—and essential—young protesters.
Your donations will provide revenue to the songwriters, singers, producers and artists involved in creating the music for PROTEST. It will also benefit the performers at Bauhaus Brew Labs in concert on Monday, September 13th, 2021. All are welcome for the live-reveal of these new rock songs and great beer! Bauhaus is donating 10% of all sales to a charity of the Protest songwriter's choice - charity info coming soon!
Starting Friday, July 30th the window to donate will go through Monday, August 16th, 2021.
