jack warshaw- the real deal
A veteran of 60 years in folksongs, Jack’s authentic American sound is the antidote to folk-pop singer-songwriters. He connects the love, hope, joy, work, sorrow and struggle of our time with the best of tradition, portrayed by icons like Woody Guthrie, the Seegers, Ewan MacColl, Tom Paley, Dave Van Ronk, Tom Paxton, The Carter Family, Aunt Molly Jackson, Mississippi John Hurt and Townes Van Zandt. His famous song, “If they Come in the Morning” is heard and sung around the world, translated into several languages. Others have reached South African freedom fighters, Chilean exiles, labor organisers, migrant workers, Civil Rights movements, union miners and anti-war campaigns. From 60s Greenwich Village where he met and sang with young Bob Dylan, he has shared stages with Peggy Seeger, Ewan MacColl, Barbara Dane, Jean Ritchie, Karaxu, Michael Foot , Christy Moore, Stuart Burns and many more. At clubs, concerts, picket lines and benefits, opposing war, racism and injustice, Jack has been there. Always writing, learning, testing songs, performing and recording.
