In the decades prior to the 1960s, through the work of such avatars as Woody Guthrie, the Weaver and Pete Seeger, folk music was identified with sociopolitical commentary, but the idiom had been forced underground in the Senator Joe McCarthy witch-hunting era of the late ‘50s. By the time Peter, Paul & Mary arrived on the scene, folk music was viewed a side-bar to pop music. Peter Yarrow, Noel Paul Stookey and Mary Travers came together to reclaim folk’s potency as a social, cultural and political force, but few could have realized how fervently and pervasively the group’s message of humanity, hope and activism would be embraced. Tonight we welcome Peter Yarrow to the Opera House stage. Join us for this special evening. Advance Tickets $25 – day of show tickets $30. Doors for seating open at 7:30 pm, concert at 8 pm.
