Spook Handy returns to the Millburn Library to perform "Remembering Pete Seegar" on Saturday, May 13 at 3pm.

Come join us at the Millburn Library on Saturday, May 13 at 3 pm, as we welcome back Spook Handy for his performance "Remembering Pete Seegar."

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 10 Canadian provinces, many other countries and all 21 New Jersey counties. His CD “Pete Woody & Me, Volume I – Keep the Flame Alive” was the No. 12 album of 2016 on the International Folk Radio Charts. His quadrennially popular song “Vote” charted at No. 2 in November and No. 7 for the year. “Banks of Marble” charted at No. 3 in June. Spook can be heard at theaters, arts centers, libraries, universities, churches and anywhere else people gather to keep alive the tradition Pete made famous of sharing songs as a tool to build and nurture community. His songs have been used in theater and film and he is becoming a well known speaker at festivals and conferences around the country.
