Who, exactly, is Andy Revkin you ask? I don't think I can do any better than to simply refer you to his bio on Wikipedia…
Andrew C. Revkin is an American science and environmental journalist, webcaster, author and educator. He has written on a wide range of subjects including the destruction of the Amazon rainforest, the 2004 Asian tsunami, sustainable development, climate change, and the changing environment around the North Pole. From 2019 to 2023 he directed the Initiative on Communication and Sustainability at The Earth Institute of Columbia University.[1] While at Columbia, he launched a video webcast, Sustain What,[2] that seeks solutions to tangled environmental and societal challenges through dialogue. In 2023, the webcast integrated with his online newsletter of the same name.[3]
Previously, he was a strategic adviser to environmental and science journalism at the National Geographic Society.[4] Through 2017 he was senior reporter for climate change at the independent investigative newsroom ProPublica.[5] He was a reporter for The New York Times from 1995 through 2009. In 2007, he created the Dot Earth environmental blog for The Times. The blog moved to the Opinion Pages in 2010 and ran through 2016. From 2010 to 2016 he was also the Senior Fellow for Environmental Understanding at Pace University.[6]
And since this is, after all, a house concert, I'm going to add this bit…
Revkin is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who led a Hudson Valley roots ensemble called Breakneck Ridge Revue. He was also a member of Uncle Wade, a blues-roots band.[19] Revkin performed frequently with the folk singer (and environmentalist) Pete Seeger from 1996 until Seeger's death in 2014. Revkin's first album, A Very Fine Line, featuring guest contributions by Dar Williams, Mike Marshall and Bruce Molsky, was released in November, 2013.[20]
I expect we'll get to hear a story or two from "back-in-the-day" and also be treated to some newly-minted tunes from his recently released cd, Wake Me Up, Martha — a thirteen-song survival guide for crazy, fast-forward times. This should be a very interesting evening!
