Jeff Warner
Phinney Center Concert Hall (Brick Building down the hill)
Seattle, WA
Share this event:


Jeff Warner is among the nations foremost performer/interpreters of traditional music. His songs from the lumber camps, fishing villages and mountaintops of America connect 21st-century audiences with the everyday lives  and artistry  of 19th-century Americans. Providing more than just rich entertainment, Jeff will leave you with a deeper appreciation of the land you live in (CaffĂ© Lena, Saratoga, NY). His songs, rich in local history and a sense of place, bring us the latest news from the distant past.

Jeff grew up listening to the songs and stories of his father Frank Warner and the traditional singers his parents met during their folksong collecting trips through rural America. He accompanied his parents on their later field trips and is the editor of his mothers book, Traditional American Folk Songs: From the Anne and Frank Warner Collection. He is producer of the two-CD set, Her Bright Smile Haunts Me Still, the Warners recordings of rural singers, many of them born in Victorian times.

The scion of one of the nations most eminent families of folksong collectors, he represents a tradition that is fundamentally unbroken since pre-industrial times (Stuart Frank, Senior Curator, New Bedford Whaling Museum).

Jeff has performed widely, from large festivals in the UK, to clubs, festivals and schools across America. He plays concertina, banjo, guitar and several pocket instruments, including bones and spoons. And he inhabits a song in a way which few singers can do (Royal Oak Folk Club, Lewes, UK).

A native of New York City, Jeff has lived in Portsmouth, NH, since the late 1990s. He is a speaker for New Hampshire Humanities, an artist for the New Hampshire Council on the Arts, and a former State Arts Council Fellow. He has toured nationally for the Smithsonian Institution, taught at Pinewoods, Ashokan, Augusta and Swannanoa summer music programs and recorded for Flying Fish/Rounder, WildGoose (UK) and other labels. His 1995 recording, Two Little Boys received a Parents Choice Award.

We are delighted to welcome Jeff Warner back to Seattle!
This concert is co-sponsored by Seattle FOlklore Society and Northwest Seaport.
