WHAT: Spook’s new CD, “Pete, Woody & Me, Volume I – Keep the Flame Alive” is currently charting at # 3 on the International Folk Radio Charts with “Banks of Marble” as the # 3 song and “Vote” as # 13. The passion, purpose and spirit of folk music are alive and well and as relevant as ever in this new CD and Spook’s “Remembering Pete Seeger” concert.
WHO: Spook is a internationally-touring folk musician from New Brunswick, New Jersey. Besides the U.S., he has performed in 4 Canadian provinces and will bring this tour to the rest of Canada as well as Australia, New Zealand and Europe in the coming years. He performed alongside Pete Seeger more than 50 times in the last 10 years of Pete’s life, learning many of his songs and the stories behind them. “The audience will get to hear plenty of stories, and whether or not you followed his career, everyone will learn something new about one of America’s most important and influential musicians of the past 100 years,” he said.
About Pete: Pete Seeger is widely known for leading a renaissance of folk music in the United States. For more than 70 years, he performed across the country sharing songs that became well-known favorites including songs he wrote such as “If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song),” “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” and “Turn! Turn! Turn!” He also popularized hundreds of other songs including the civil rights anthem, “We Shall Overcome” and Woody Guthrie’s “This Land is Your Land.”
WHY: Spook Handy says “One of my goals is keep alive the tradition I learned from Pete of using songs as a tool to build and nurture community. The “right songs” will reflect and promote values that build things up, instead of tear things down.” John Weingart, host of “Music You Can’t Hear on the Radio” (WPRB, Princeton, NJ) says: "Spook Handy has created a record that certainly rests on the shoulders of the past but is unmistakably steeped in the present and what’s more, the musical arrangements and playing as well as the lyrics are rich and delightful."
Spook hopes the concert will demonstrate that the tradition of singing songs with social value is alive and well TODAY!! “While the concert will have a nostalgic quality to it, it will also present a look at the world we live in today and the world we can create for tomorrow.”
