Bread and Roses

Intro
all-acoustic rock band from Boston, Massachusetts
Music

Bread and Roses was an all-acoustic rock band from Boston, Massachusetts known for their intimate, unamplified DIY-venue performances and crowd singalongs. Their style included influences from early country, bluegrass, Irish traditional, and old-timey genres, as well as punk rock. Interspersed with their own original songs were renditions of union ballads, traditional labor songs, and covers of American folk music and country classics. Their lyrics included potent messages of anti-World War I politics and union worker rights, as well as tales of sailors, whalers and the seafaring life of pirates.
