A Tribute Concert for Pete Seeger

From 7:30 to 9:30 pm on May 21, 2015, singers and songwriters who have had the honor of meeting and playing with Pete Seeger will pay tribute to his music at the FDU Metro Campus, Dickinson Hall, Wilson Auditorium, 140 University Plaza Drive, Hackensack NJ.

The concert is free and open to the public, but the suggested tax-deductible donation of $10 will help NJPPN continue to bring factual, non-partisan speaker programs to the public free of charge.

Spook Handy’s musical journey began when he fell in love with the Beatles. He has recorded four CDs, and another is in progress. Spook has toured North America and performed at over 3,000 concerts. This troubadour engages audiences with a combination of song and narrative in the Seeger tradition.

Cynthia Summers, a North Jersey native, has been playing guitar since the age of 9. She grew up with a variety of musical styles, but has always been mesmerized by traditional songs. Her appearances at numerous folk festivals and performances have delighted audiences in the tri-state area.

Geoff Kauffman and his quartet, Forebitter, are known on the coffee house circuit in the US and Europe. Geoff sings songs of the sea, the heart, and the spirit. He first met Pete in 2003 and appeared with him on more than 50 occasions. Close to home, he sang on Pete’s sloop, Clearwater, on the Hudson.
