The Homeless Gospel Choir

Pittsburgh-Based Folk Punk Project

The Homeless Gospel Choir is the stage name of Derek Zanetti, a folk-punk musician known for his socially conscious lyrics and DIY ethic. Emerging from the Pittsburgh music scene, Zanetti has carved out a niche for himself within the punk community by blending acoustic folk elements with punk rock's energy and activism. His performances are often solo affairs, where he delivers poignant messages through a combination of storytelling and song. The Homeless Gospel Choir has toured extensively, sharing stages with like-minded artists and bands in the punk scene, and has built a reputation for engaging live shows that are both personal and politically charged.
