In the 1960???s, NYC???s Greenwich Village was the epicenter of a revolutionary movement in the history of American music. A new wave of writers and performers, inspired by the folk revival of the late fifties, created introspective, socially-aware, deeply personal songs that deserve to be considered as a key part of the American Songbook alongside the pop songs being written uptown in the Brill Building and 1650 Broadway. These writers ??? Bob Dylan, Tim Hardin, Richard Fari??a, Fred Neil and Phil Ochs, to name just a few ??? changed the ???folk??? repertoire from traditional songs to songs sprung from personal, contemporary experience. This freewheeling evening pays tribute to that exciting era, exploring the lasting legacy of artists and songs that still resonate today.??
??The show is based on Richard Barone’s current album,??“Sorrows & Promises: Greenwich Village in the 1960s”, featuring duets with the legendary Dion, John Sebastian, Allison Moorer, Nellie McKay, and many more. Available everywhere on vinyl LP, CD, or digital download.??
??Tyler-James Kelly of The Silks will join Richard in performance and appear as special guest.
