Protest by Gene Pritsker & Friends
Inspired by the protests happening in America and around the world for the social change that is long overdue and very much needed, I created this 12 track album. I wrote brand new compositions and remotely recorded them with friends from all around the world. From London, New Zealand, Vienna, Toronto, Moscow, Nuremberg, Sweden to various parts of New York: Wall Street to the Upper Eastside, Brooklyn to Thornwood.
