Mr. Yarrow, the legendary folk singer best known for hits such as Leaving On A Jet Plane, Puff the Magic Dragon, and Where Have All the Flowers Gone, last played in Summit in 2016, accompanied by Mustard’s Retreat (David Tameluvich and Michael Hough). This year Yarrow and the duo of Jones and Watroba will perform a different selection of tunes with a different feel. Jones and Watroba have been performing together for more than 20 years, playing a catalog of American Roots music (folk, blues, spirituals, work songs, chants, etc.).
Tickets to the concert are on sale and can be purchased through the new SJSCS website, sjscs.org, or by phone at (908) 206-4250. Ticket prices are $40 for general admission and $30 for children 12 and under.
