Review for Spook Handy:
Spook’s New CD: “Pete, Woody & Me, Volume I – Keep the Flame Alive”currently #3. Two consecutive months on the International Folk Radio Charts just behind Joan Baez and ahead of Shawn Colvin and Steve Earle.
Spook Handy performed alongside Pete Seeger at festivals and concerts over 50 times from 2003–2013. He learned firsthand many of Pete’s songs and the stories behind them. Now, Spook is on a three year “Remembering Pete Seeger” World Tour bringing these songs and stories and Pete’s message to all 50 U.S states, all 10 Canadian provinces, and many other countries as well as all 21 New Jersey counties. He can be heard at theaters, arts centers, libraries, universities, churches and anywhere else people gather to keep alive the tradition Pete made famous of sharing songs as a tool to build and nurture community.
