Chicago punk band Rise Against is in Minneapolis on Friday to take part in A Concert of Solidarity and Resistance to Defend Minnesota. Announced earlier this week, the show is a benefit for the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two Minnesotans killed by federal agents since ICE’s operations expanded in the Twin Cities.
Joining them on the bill for the afternoon show are organizer Tom Morello, Al Di Meola, Ike Reilly and a special guest.
Frontman Tim McIlrath tells The Current’s weekend host Gannon Hanevold that he’d be here even if the band wasn’t playing. Their conversation also covers protest songs, and finding the positive elements within a crisis.
