I will be taking part in the Troubadour's annual Chorus Song Night. The once common, but now rare experience of singing together with others is kept alive in this annual event at the Troubadour. Songs with choruses. Familiar songs. Songs whose structure telegraphs or implies the lyrics. If you like to sing with the radio, it's even more fun when you sing with a real person in a room full of others who like to sing. In addition to me, songs will be led by: Bob Dupre: Wonderful acapella singer of sea songs, pub songs, etc. Olga (Olguita) Alvarez: A respected professional vocalist in Puerto Rico where she grew up, Olga has become a fixture in the Folk Project community, and sings in Spanish as well as English. Ken & Pat Rolston: Well known for their harmonies, the Rolstons' repertoire runs the gamut from traditional ballads to doo-wop.

What the heck is "First Night"? First Night was conceived in Boston in 1975, and is now celebrated in many cities across the country including Morristown. For the 28th consecutive New Year's Eve, 85+ performances representing dance, theater, music, world cultures, visual arts and children's events take place in 25 venues within walking distance of the town center. Many of the artists have performed at such top venues as The White House, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Madison Square Garden, have won Grammy awards, or, performed on TV, or in major films. A single low-priced ticket gives you admittance to all events, and you sample and choose like a smorgasbord. I will be part of that smorgasbord this year, performing at 9:45PM and 10:45PM. Advance tickets available on www.FirstNightMorris.com.

I have been a great fan of the Philadelphia Folk Song Society since I started performing. For about 15 years I was a song leader at the fire circles in the campground of the Philadelphia Folk Festival. And after a long hiatus, I'm so happy to be performing again for the Society at this house concert. Reservations and advance ticket purchase are recommended, but tickets may also be available at the door on the day of the show. Call or email for availability. What's a "house concert", you ask? Pretty much what it sounds like: a concert in someone's home. the most intimate way to hear music. Here's a short video that describes the concept.
