z60s FOLK SINGALONG

Celebration of the Arts presents a 60’s FOLK SINGALONG at the Uxbridge Music Hall

It’s been 60 years since the folk music revival of the 1960’s emerged as the soundtrack of that decade’s most important social movements. At Greenwich Village and Yorkville coffeehouses

and campus hootenannies, the youth of the era got together to sings like “Blowin’ in the Wind”, “If I Had a Hammer”, and “500 Miles” and take on the injustices in civil rights and war. The

songs themselves were an unusual blend of rediscovered traditional tunes, fresh new commentaries and the just plain quirky. The revival struck much more than a musical chord.

The power of the revival comes to Uxbridge Music Hall with the 60’s FOLK SINGALONG on Saturday, September 9, 2023 at 7:30pm. The show is an enthusiastic and heartfelt tribute to the

songs that defined the era ... of Pete Seeger, Peter, Paul and Mary, Ian and Sylvia, The Kingston Trio, Bob Dylan and more ... performed faithfully to the original arrangements by the Where

Have All the Folks Songs Gone band.

“These songs are really anthems and their timeless messages connect both with folks who lived the era and today’s youth as well” notes guitarist Dwight Peters. “And folks just can’t help

singing along.” The 60’s FOLK SINGALONG show has played at numerous festivals and events around Ontario including a 7- year residency at Toronto’s folkie Free Times Cafe The four-piece band comprised of vocalists Sue Peters, Henry Lees, Dwight Peters, and bassist Tony Laviola strives to keep each evening fresh by selecting from an extensive song list of over

100 period tunes. “About half the songs on our list were requested by fans over time”, notes Peters. “So in fine folk tradition, the evening really is the people’s music”.
