Subject: March 2, 2001: Bob Webb
Bob Webb to Appear in Brooklyn, New York, on Friday, March 2nd.

Multitalented Folksinger at Polytech in Pinewoods "Folk Off-Broadway" Series.

Traditional folksinger Bob Webb will appear at Wunsch Hall, Polytechnic University in Brooklyn on Friday evening, March 2, 2001, as part of the New York Pinewoods Folk Music Club's "Folk Off-Broadway" concert series produced in cooperation with the school. The show starts at 8 PM sharp. General admission is $10. Club members pay only $9, and Polytech students will be admitted free.

A typical Bob Webb concert includes ballads, shanties, songs from the West Coast lumber camps and tugboat docks, and a music hall song or two. Some of the songs he learned from relatives and older acquaintances who taught him songs from their own youth. Other songs came from contemporaries and friends, and a few he wrote himself. When not singing a capella, Bob will accompany himself on the guitar, the five-string banjo, the duet-concertina, or one of the other instruments that happen along with him. You can always expect some delights and wonders, a little amazement, and lots of fun when Bob Webb is on stage.

Wunsch Hall, the Polytechnic University student center, is located in Metrotech Center in downtown Brooklyn, easily accessible by public transportation. Ample parking is available after 7 PM.
