The Coffee House presents an evening of Pete Seeger February 23
MILWAUKEE WI - The Coffee House welcomes the 9th annual Community Sing on Saturday, February 23 at 8:00 pm. The event will feature the songs of legendary folk artist, songwriter and activist Pete Seeger led by Mark Dvorak of Chicago, JulieThompson of Milwaukee and Craig Siemsen, also of Milwaukee. The trio will take turns leading the audience through some of Seeger’s best-known songs.
The Coffee House is located in Plymouth Church UCC, 2717 E. Hampshire Street.
"This is a one of a kind evening that is part of a new singing movement,” said Siemsen. “The Ten-Pound Fiddle started their tradition more than fifteen years ago and the concept has spread throughout the country.”
The Coffee House song leaders are each accomplished musicians, songwriters, and humorists.
WFMT's Rich Warren, host of "The Midnight Special," named Mark Dvorak "Chicago's official troubadour,” and noted folk singer Joe Jencks said, "Julie Thompson sings with a style that is silky and soulful.” The Albuquerque Weekly Alibi called Craig Siemsen “an acclaimed performer on the Midwest’s burgeoning acoustic folk scene.”
Lyrics to the songs will be projected. Admission to the event is a free will donation of $5 - $15. For more information phone 414 491 3980 or email info@the-coffee-house.com. Visit The Coffee House at www.the-coffee-house.com.
