SPOOK HANDY at the Highland Park Public Library

Come see our great friend, the famed and storied folk singer SPOOK HANDY, play his songs at the Highland Park Public Library!

"From Zuccotti Park to a Salt Lake Community College residency sharing songs of the Civil Rights Movement; from bookstores and senior centers to festivals, amphitheaters and arts centers, Spook gives voice to the stories of those he's met in his travels over the past year. Be prepared for a heart warming afternoon of song, laughter and reflection."

See the man that Pete Seeger says "really understands how to write a good song that says something important" and the Home News Tribune called the "Best Folk Artist."
