Archie Fisher at Hogeye Folk Arts

Hogeye Folk Arts at Lake Street Church
Evanston, IL

Archie was born in Glasgow into a large singing family, which yielded three professional singers Archie and his sisters Ray and Cilla Fisher. Constant music combined with his father's appreciation of many musical styles (opera, vaudeville, traditional ballads) proved to be a heavy influence on Archie's musical development, while his mother, a native Gaelic speaker from the outer Hebrides, was a strong influence on the lyrical quality of his singing and songwriting. Archie first became interested in folk music through the Skiffle era of the late 1950's under the influences of performers such as Lonnie Donegan and Johnny Duncan. Later, the recording of the Weavers at Carnegie Hall also had a profound effect on his approach to music and his political outlook. Hogeye is pleased to be able to host one of the rare performances of this wonderful artist in the Chicago area. Don't miss it!!!
