Transitioning from the beautiful island of Bermuda to the city life of Boston, Massachusetts, Chris is currently a Professional Music Major at the Berklee College of Music.
My intent is to create an atmosphere where my listeners feel comfortable to vulnerability in hopes that they allow themselves to feel something/anything.

Bermuda’s own Rachel Brown hosts the Bermuda Stage of “The World Wide Rebel Tour;” a virtual tour spanning the entire planet.
“No one has ever toured 42 countries in one day. Until now. From Malawi to Myanmar, from Uzbekistan to the U.S.A., people’s voices and struggles have made their way into my music.
On May 1st, I’m returning the favor with this global rebel rocking throwdown. Free. Everywhere. May Day. What is the World Wide Rebel Tour? Remember that old Coca-Cola commercial? ‘I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony…?’ It’s like THAT…but with class warfare.” – Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman
The 30-minute documentary was directed by Bobby Roth and was filmed at Henson Studios in Los Angeles in August of 2011. The film features a Q&A with Morello, mixed with live performances of “Black Spartacus Heart Attack Machine,” “Save The Hammer For The Man,” “It Begins Tonight,” and “World Wide Rebel Songs,” all selections featured on his acclaimed 2011 The Nightwatchman album World Wide Rebel Songs.
There are 42 country-specific versions of the documentary. The country-specific version features an interviewer (Bermuda’s Rachel Brown) asking Tom questions in their native language including 1 question unique to that country and only available on that version. Tom answers are subtitled in the native language.
Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman – Save The Hammer For The Man I hurt the gentlest souls, I robbed my wife and sonI turned my back on troubles, troubles I’d begun I cut a swath of pain and loss through the hallways of my home In the quiet of my room I know the things I’ve done Save the hammer for the man, save the hammer for the man It’s the calling of the wretched, It’s the rising of the damned Save the hammer for the man I was driven from the city, in the wilderness I stand In the cleansing rain in silence, I made my battle plan Alone I marched towards freedom, leaving footprints across the land With the vow that’s left unspoken, save the hammer for the man Save the hammer for the man, save the hammer for the man You’re never too far down the wrong road To turn back and change your plan Save the hammer for the man I leaned against the hot and bothered wind beneath a hateful rain Politics and apocalypse all begin to look the same For price of my redemption will mean the end of many things The ransom for my soul the blood of generals and kings Save the hammer for the man, save the hammer for the man I’ve sinned and I have suffered, And it feels good in my hands Save the hammer for the man I was driven from the city, in the wilderness I stand
Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman – Save The Hammer For The Man In the cleansing rain in silence, I made my battle plan I’ll whisper words of freedom, I will swing hard as I can Lord knows the time is coming, let’s keep the hammer for the man Save the hammer for the man, save the hammer for the man If the fire’s hot enough Iron and steel will bend Save the hammer for the man Save the hammer for the man Save the hammer for the man I will whisper words of freedom, I’ll swing hard as I can Save the hammer for the man I’lll whisper words of freedom I’ll swing hard as I can
