  • This is a protest song. The Homeless Gospel Choir is a punk rock band from Pittsburgh, PA founded as a folk punk songwriting project from Derek Zanetti in YEAR. THGC quickly won over fans up and down the east coast due to infectious melodies, protest-driven lyrics, and a relentless touring schedule. In 2016, "I Used to Be So Young" was released on A-F records and Derek toured the U.S. with Anti-Flag, the U.K. with Frank Iero (formerly of My Chemical Romance), and Frank Turner. His music has been featured on NPR. Fans around the world are drawn to Derek because of his honesty, humor and his ideals of inclusion and equality. His next album, featuring a new full band lineup, is set to drop in the fall of 2019. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    I had the pleasure of meeting Derek after his set at a small art fest in Morris, IL last summer. “This Land is Your Landfill” is an album that changed my life and got me through COVID. He’s a beautiful person through and through.

    Derek's positivity is infectious! It's impossible for me to watch him talk and play and not smile. Punk Rock is the cure for all the world's problems.

    Derek is the best! Met him briefly after his show with Frank Iero in Massachusetts in 2017 after playing and recording "untitled" for the queue. He has such important messages - we need more dereks in this world !!

    I have a lot of admiration for Derek. I really hope that he is given more chances on even larger stages and platforms to protest and voice out his positive thoughts towards the changes our world desperately needs! I definitely recommend following Derek as well! I expect to see great things from him!
