A strong lineup for top to bottom -- the incomparable Jim Infantino opens, Kate closes, and an embarrassment of riches in between
You can watch it live at https://www.greenwichvillagefolkfestival.org, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vd7VWDMysM or at my Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/christine.lavin.5, or just the audio at folkmusicnotebook.com.
Like all these concerts, it is free, but donations are gladly accepted and split equally among the performers. If you miss it tonight when it's live, you can watch it starting tomorrow at greenwichvillagefolkfestival.org.
The producers are Rod MacDonald and Ray Micek, who started this organization back in 1987. We started going these online shows in July 2020, thinking they'd only be relevant for a few months, but as we all are learning, this pandemic is tricky, and we'll keep doing these as long as necessary to stay connected.
Hope to see you tonight!
