Thread Name: A folk Legend Revisits Montreal Sunday, April 26
Subject: A folk Legend Revisits Montreal
An icon of folk music comes back to Montreal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are thrilled to announce that folk music icon Tom Paxton will be performing at the April installment of the Wintergreen Concert series. A veteran of the Greenwich Village basket house scene and an important voice in American folk music, Paxton has been performing for over 45 years.
"Tom's songs have a way of sneaking up on you. You find yourself humming them, whistling them, and singing a verse to a friend. Like the songs of Woody Guthrie, they're becoming part of America." – Pete Seeger
"Tom Paxton embodies the spirit of folk music in the most beautiful sense…He's the coolest." – Ani DiFranco
"[His] songs are so powerful and lyrical, written from the heart and the conscience, and they reach their mark, our innermost being." – Judy Collins
"Tom Paxton ranks up there with the Beatles [and] Bob Dylan…for the number of songs he's written that everyone seems to know." – Dirty Linen
