Friday Night Folk presents Geoff Kaufman and Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen Friday January 20
Double Bill at Friday Night Folk January 20:
Geoff Kaufman and Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen
Friday Night Folk is pleased to welcome a trio of great folk performers to the stage for its January 20 concert. Beloved troubadour Geoff Kaufman will take the Friday Night Folk stage with a variety of folk, maritime and Americana music. Joining Geoff will be husband and wife performers Steve Gillette and Cindy Mangsen. The concert will be held at All Souls Unitarian-Universalist Congregation at 19 Jay Street in New London.
For the past 28 years, Geoff Kaufman has been leading audiences to find truth, humor, and beauty in folk music. Songs of the sea, songs of the earth, songs of the heart and the spirit all of these are likely to be woven into Geoffs concerts. Ancient ballads, work songs, and songs of love; poignant songs of people in struggle, humorous glimpses of human foibles: Geoff has entertained and touched audiences near and far.
Performing with Geoff Kaufman, Steve Gillette and Cindy Mangsen have been traveling, performing and recording together since their marriage in 1989. In their many years together, they have become a favorite of audiences for their genuine affectionate relationship and for their sweet harmony singing and intricate guitar and concertina work. Steve Gillette has been writing since since the 1960s. His songs have been covered by Ian and Sylvia, John Denver, Garth Brooks, Linda Ronstadt, Tammy Wynette, and many others.
Concert starts at 7:30 PM. (Doors Open at 7:00 PM) at All Souls UU Congregation ~ Unity Hall, 19 Jay Street, New London, CT.
