Chanteyman Geoff Kaufman will join January 14 Song & Story Swap

Please come share in an evening of music and stories at the December Pioneer Valley Folklore Society SONG & STORY SWAP.

Geoff Kaufman will be at the Black Sheep in Amherst on January 14!

Friday, January 14, 7:30-9:30 p.m. at the Black Sheep Café, 79 Main St., Amherst, Mass.

Featured artist at the January 14 Song & Story Swap will be veteran chanteyman, Geoff Kaufman. Whether singing sailor songs at Mystic Seaport, or environmental songs on board the Sloop Clearwater in the Hudson River; or in solo performances at coffeehouses throughout the U. S. to festivals in Europe, Geoff has entertained and touched audiences near and far.

At the core of Geoff’s performance is his rich tenor voice, and an exuberant love of singing. And part of that love is to entice audiences to sing along, to share in the exhilaration of full-throated vocalization if they wish. In this age of electronic overload and passive media pabulum, Geoff likes to stress the “live” in live performance, promoting participation, be it by voice or heart or mind.

More information about Geoff Kaufman may be found at his web site, http://www.geoffkaufman.com/.

The warm-up theme this month is Lies. 

The PVFS Song & Story Swap happens the 2ND FRIDAY of every month.  For information contact Paul Kaplan, (413)-253-9484 or Jeff Lee, (413)-256-0433 or visit http://www.filbert.com/pvfs.
