Spook Handy performed alongside Pete Seeger at festivals and concerts over 50 times from 2003-2013. He learned firsthand many of Pete’s songs and the stories behind them. Now Spook is on a three year “Remembering Pete Seeger” World Tour bringing these songs and stories and Pete’s message to all 50 U.S. states, all 11 Canadian provinces and many other countries as well as all 21 New Jersey counties. He can be heard at theaters, arts centers, libraries, universities, churches and anywhere else people gather to celebrate Pete’s life and legacy.

Spook was named Best Folk Artist by Upstage Magazine, Gannett New Jersey, The Courier News, The Home News and About.com. He has written for theater and film and his original songs have charted as high as #6 on the International Folk Radio Charts.
