Martin Kerr sings what you're thinking. A folk troubadour for the post-truth age, Kerr is known for his poetic storytelling and soul-stirring voice. One of Canada's leading protest singers, he blends activism and artistry with a rare mix of compassion and courage in his 15th studio album, "Overdue for a Revolution."That spirit fuels his bold new album, a collection of protest songs and viral parody rewrites that speak to the crises of our time. Tracks like "Immigrants," "Workers (Can't Afford a Home)" and "Overdue for a Revolution" explore inequality, solidarity and justice, while "Thank God for Taxes" offers a witty but sincere reminder of how societies thrive when we invest in each other. First shared on social media, these songs quickly struck a nerve and grew into a full record.
Kerr's journey to protest songwriting feels like a natural step in a career built on human connection. From busking on Edmonton street corners to cracking the Canadian Top 10 with "Better Than Brand-New" and racking up millions of streams with "You're Amazing," he has always followed his own path. During the pandemic, be became a lifeline for his community, performing more than 400 "Stay Home Street Concerts."
Born in the UK and now based in Edmonton, Kerr continues to use music to unite, comfort and give people courage – offering songs that challenge, connect and leave audiences with hope.
