A musician, spoken word artist, actor, author and comedian from Washington, D.C., Henry Rollins came onto the music scene when he formed the hardcore punk outfit State of Alert in 1980. Following his short-lived time with the band, Rollins fronted the California-based punk band Black Flag from 1981–1986, then founded the Rollins Band in 1987. Around this time, he also created the record label and publishing company 2.13.61 to begin releasing his own spoken word albums. Now, he heads to the 40 Watt on his “Good to See You” spoken-word tour following stretches across the UK, Germany, Australia, New Zealand and several other countries.
