Remembering Phil Ochs Song Night

Posted

HONESDALE, PA — RiverFolk Concerts will present a night of music commemorating the life and music of 1960s American protest singer Phil Ochs, while also highlighting new talents making music in Phil’s spirit. The show will be hosted by Phil’s sister, Sonny Ochs, and take place at The Cooperage, 1030 Main St., at 5 p.m. on Sunday, March 6.

Born in El Paso, TX in 1940, Ochs arrived on the Greenwich Village folk music scene in 1962. He emerged as a passionate vocalist who wrote songs about war, civil rights, and labor struggles, some humorous and some very serious. Ochs described himself as a “singing journalist.”

The artists who are performing for this special night are just a few of the many who come out to perform the songs of Phil Ochs. They are Kim & Reggie Harris, Pat Wictor, Greg Greenway, Sharon Katz and Colleen Katteau.

The suggested donation is $20 in advance, $25 at the door. For reservations and information, call 845/252-6783. For more information on this and other RiverFolk Concerts visit www.RiverFolkConcerts.com.
