jack warshaw- the real deal
Authentic American sounds from a veteran of 60 years in folksongs. The antidote to folk-pop singer-songwriters. Connecting love, hope, joy, work, sorrow and struggle of our time with great song carriers and interpreters, like Woody Guthrie, the Seegers, Ewan MacColl, Tom Paley, Dave Van Ronk, Tom Paxton, The Carter Family, Aunt Molly Jackson, Mississippi John Hurt and Townes Van Zandt.
Jack's best known song, “If they Come in the Morning” is heard and sung around the world, translated into several languages. Others reached South African freedom fighters, Chilean exiles, labor organisers, migrant workers, Civil Rights, union miners, environment, peace and freedom movements. From 60s Greenwich Village where he met and sang with young Bob Dylan, he has shared stages with Peggy Seeger, Ewan MacColl, Barbara Dane, Jean Ritchie, Karaxu, Michael Foot , Christy Moore, Stuart Burns and many more. At clubs, concerts, picket lines and benefits, opposing war, racism and injustice, Jack has been there, making music.
