Linden Tree Concerts at Temple Emmanuel

GREG GREENWAY Returns to WAKEFIELD’S LINDEN TREE CONCERT SERIES
 Sunday, October 18, 2026 at 2 pm. Come celebrate Linden Tree Concerts 42th season opener on Sunday, October 18th when multi-instrumentalist Greg Greenway, an international touring singer-songwriter, returns to Wakefield’s Temple Emmanuel. Born in the shadows of the now famous fallen statues of Richmond, VA, Greg Greenway moved to Boston for its rich Folk Music tradition. He has since become one of its most unique and superlative emissaries. Musically raised on the magically percussive right hand of Richie Havens, and the flowing lyricism of Eric Andersen, these seminal influences became the DNA of his own unique and continuing growth. He has blended them into a multi-instrumental, genre crossing style - the never-ending process of a musical omnivore.
His eight year collaboration with Pat Wictor and Joe Jencks as Brother Sun, reached thousands of fans with their intricate three part harmonies being heard in festivals and concert halls across the US and Canada. His newest project with his beloved friend of 35 years, Reggie Harris, is a musical presentation on Race in America called Deeper Than The Skin. \ One African-American, one White, together they convey a quintessential American story.
In the process, Greg's music has touched people all over the world. "What Must Be Done" and “In the Name of Love,” (a lead in to the U2 classic, “Pride,”) have been sung by choirs internationally. They have become defining pieces on his journey to becoming a consummate artist capable of addressing sensitive topics like Race in a way that connects audiences to their humanity while entertaining them at the same time.
In concert, Greg has been described as “one of the strongest, and finest voices in folk music.” The Boston Globe wrote, “Confessional one moment, rambunctiously disarming the next, few modern folk singers can own a coffeehouse stage as completely as Greenway.” Another reviewer perhaps described it best, “A profoundly rich poet and musician. Folk Music is too narrow a description.”
Musically, his guitar, piano, ukulele, and melodica reflect inspiration from all over the map–gospel, rock, blues, Jazz, and world music. But his center is in the singer/songwriter tradition that traces it roots all the way back to the social awareness of Woody Guthrie. His central appeal is that it all comes through the singular lens of Greenway’s own humanity and affinity for the audience. He has legendary energy, the wellspring of a presentation of high spirited give and take of such good humor that audiences unfailingly walk away uplifted. Greg’s most recent CD, Between Hello and Goodbye, was the #1 CD on the Folk Music DJ List for the month of August ’23. He was also the #1 artist for that month out of thousands that can be considered each month.
 “Greg Greenway is one of those artists who is so rich a talent that it is difficult to categorize him. He traverses, combines and mixes up musical genres, and manages to open a window on global events that bring us together as citizens of the world. Like other great performers before him, Greenway’s message is that we can all play a part and make a difference in the course of both our private and public lives. But few musicians can do just this with such style, passion and sheer musicality.”Folk &amp; Acoustic Music Exchange
