Richie Havens is
gifted with one of the most
recognizable voices in
popular music. His fiery,
poignant, always soulful
singing style has remained
unique and ageless since 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 - coming full circle
with the 30th Woodstock
Anniversary celebration, "A
Day In The Garden", in 1999.
Richie’s Woodstock
appearance proved to be a
major turning point in his
career. As the festival’s
first performer, he held the
crowd spellbound for nearly
three hours, called back for
encore after encore. Having
run out of tunes, he
improvised a song based on
the old
spiritual "Motherless Child"
that became "Freedom", a
song now considered to be
the anthem of a generation.
And now this year
brings another new, self-
produced
album, Grace Of The
Sun, which finds Richie
again composing most of the
tracks.

"Mysticssippi" blues man
Harry Manx has been
called an "essential link"
between the music of East
and West, creating musical
short stories that wed the
tradition of the Blues with
the depth of classical
Indian ragas. He has created
a unique sound that is hard
to forget and deliciously
addictive to listen to.
