Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir are bringing their unique brand of activist gospel performance to Lot 45 (411 Troutman St, Bushwick) this coming Thursday in a benefit for EcoStation:NY.
The “anti-consumerist gospel shouters” are headlining EcoStation’s annual winter fundraiser to support programs like Bushwick Farmers’ Market and the urban-farm education program Bushwick Campus Farm.
It’s been a big year for Reverend Billy and his group. They opened for Neil Young on some of the legendary rocker’s tour dates this year, playing arena-sized venues like Jones Beach. The Reverend and company also held their annual protest of the flagship Macy’s store on Black Friday, singing songs admonishing shoppers of “the carbon emissions and sweatshop labor of their Black Friday sales.”
