Rebecca Riots A female “radical folk” trio founded in 1993 by its members, Andrea
Prichett, Lisa Zeiler, and Eve Decker. From 1993-2001 they released four CDs, were signed to
Appleseed Recordings, and toured the United States several times. They are intensely
dedicated to justice, but they are fun and easy going too. From 2002-2006 Rebecca Riots
stopped touring, playing one or two shows a year in Berkeley. During that time Lisa had a
baby and produced albums for other singer-songwriters, Andrea became a public school
teacher and visited Palestine, and Eve did long meditation retreats and released a solo CD
based on Buddhist teachings. Now they are back; touring the country and officially releasing
their fifth CD, Just As Sure. Voice: (415) 377-8588 Email: rebecca@rebeccariots.com
