Richie Havens in Concert
Monday, October 11, 2010 at 7:30pm
Gifted with one of the most recognizable voices in popular music, Richie Havens has a soulful singing style that remains as unique and ageless as when he first emerged from the
Greenwich Village
folk scene in the early 1960's. It's a voice that has inspired and electrified audiences from the Woodstock Music & Arts Fair in 1969, to the Clinton Presidential Inauguration in 1993.
For over four decades, Richie has used his music to convey messages of brotherhood and personal freedom. The latest leg of Richie Havens journey is entitled Nobody Left to Crown. A sense of timelessness rings through the album, as though the passing years have only strengthened the meaning of his soul-filled rock. Nobody Left to Crown attests that Richie Havens has never been more relevant, necessary even, than he is today-especially considering the situation in
America
is not dissimilar to that of the 60's. " My albums are meant to be a chronological view of the times we've come through, what we've thought about, and what we've done to grow and change. There's a universal point to which we all respond, and where all songs apply to everyone".
Even if at times a certain melancholy emerges Richie Havens is not a man to easily abandon his hopes for a better world. "We are at the dawn of a major change", he declares with a broad smile, and in his music you will always find his heartfelt and unwavering contribution to these fine ideals and aspirations.
