Due to a legal dispute with a major record label (that shares its name with a river in the Pacific Northwest) Red Columbia has been advised not to use his real name. Red’s involvement with the American Communist Party, and his radical views concerning the rights of Songwriters and their ownership of intellectual property have landed Red in hot water on more than one occasion. No longer able to tour for fear of retribution from several radical right wing groups, Red now works as a producer for a small NW label. Red is proud to give scathing reviews to budding folk singers who mumble and are self-indulgent!
