Spook Handy Concert

Spook Handy is frequently described as a modern troubadour in the style of Pete Seeger. So we've asked him to come help us celebrate Pete's music and tradition with a concert of songs and stories Spook learned directly from the grandfather of contemporary American folk music.

His favorite songs spoke to him, told him stories, and made him feel connected to his community. For 20 years he hosted a showcase Tuesday nights in a New Brunswick, NJ, tavern that helped create a large community of supportive songwriters. Spook performed many times with Pete and is remembering him with a world tour featuring songs and stories he learned directly from "the Grandfather of contemporary American folk music." Spook has great stories. His (and Pete's) songs are singable and we'll be invited to sing them.
