He's been called “the best musical satirist working today.” Roy Zimmerman’s signature blend of heart and hilarity has never been more necessary.

The Los Angeles Times says, “Zimmerman displays a lacerating wit and keen awareness of society's foibles that bring to mind a latter-day Tom Lehrer."

Tom Lehrer says, "I congratulate Roy Zimmerman on reintroducing literacy to comedy songs.”

Joni Mitchell says, “Roy's lyrics move beyond poetry and achieve perfection."

Roy has shared stages with a vast variety of musical and comedic luminaries - Robin Williams, Black Francis, Ellen DeGeneres, Arlo Guthrie, Bill Maher, Holly Near, John Oliver, The Roches, George Carlin. Roy founded and wrote all the material for the comedy folk quartet The Foremen. The Foremen brought to the Nineties what Folk Era groups like The Limeliters and The Kingston Trio brought to the early Sixties: twangling instruments, knife-edged four-part harmonies and biting, hilarious satire. The Foremen recorded two albums for Warner/Reprise Records. They toured extensively, playing the nation’s major folk venues, a lot of fancy Progressive benefits, Pete Seeger’s Clearwater Festival (under an overpass in the rain) and CBGB.
