John Reed Music 🎼 and Radio 📻 @johnreed.bandcamp.com · 10d

I’m a stubbornly independent progressive folk musician whose songs focus on social and political injustice, concern for our environment, family, love and life…because I’m actually a human being.

I hate the shit that's happening in this world, and I do my bit to try and stem the flow.

Peace Lives.

Day 8 #strideforgaza2025

Got to stride some of the way with this lovely human today 💙

6.3 km today around Spey Bay through the reserve to the viaduct. I’ve been lucky with weather! I’m now almost halfway, with 49.1 km walked.

There’s a link in my Linktree in bio if you like to donate 🙏

I ditched Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon back in 2018, because two albums were stream-ripped for someone else's gain. These platforms don't work for the good of independents. There is always a better way.

On Saturday 18th October, #NoKings marches will take place in cities across the USA. On that day, I will be posting every one of my protest songs in solidarity with the marchers: "the power belongs to the people". Here's a video for another of them: youtu.be/wyD5Skr4k0I

As Spotify descends further into the gutter by allowing ICE recruitment ads on their platform, more music lovers should try out Bandcamp and other platforms who still seem to have standards. How to Support Independent Musicians Part 2:
