Hardcore Punk icon, political activist  and actor Henry Rollins kicks off his eighty-city tour with his signature spoken word style mixing insightful political commewwntary with anecdotes from his extensive world travels. Rollins is an iconoclast and his live talking shows are known for their energy, wit, anger and humor. “Rollins is many things,” says the Washington Post, “diatribist, confessor, provocateur, humorist, even motivational speaker…his is an enthusiastic and engaging chatter.”

Rollins is clearly a workaholic –– musician, author, photographer, columnist (LA Weekly), TV Host (National Geographic, History Channel, IFC), and weekly radio DJ along with his career as a spoken word performer. As Henry Rollins tells us “The world is a more interesting place than ever and I am glad to be out in it. I’m looking forward to all these shows.”
