John Raymond Pollard is a singer/songwriter/recording artist with one foot in New York and the other in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. His songs span a diversity of musical genres including rock, folk, alternative, bossa nova, reggae, and dance. Most songs are written in English, some in Portuguese, and a few in Spanish. Many of Pollard's poetic lyrics deal with emotional, interpersonal matters.
Other songs focus on matters of equality and social justice across geographies and time frames. For example, "Poison" examines the conquest of a native population by Conquistadors and "At Stake" retells the saga of Joan of Arc. "Tango de los Desaparecidos" is set at the time when military rule in Argentina is ending and people try to put their lives back together. "Angels Watch Over" is Pollard's response to the events of 9/11/2001. "Guantanamo," "Equality," "The Government's Got You," "Alas Babylon," "Eye for Eye" "King George," and "Religion" are among songs with more contemporary settings.
Pollard's songs encourage listeners to focus on matters of equality and social justice in a manner that can encourage positive action.
