House Concert with Geoff Kaufman

Geoff Kaufman House Concert in Takoma Park, MD

Wednesday, October 22, 7:30 pm 

We had a terrific time with Geoff last April and are glad to have him back in October! 

Although Geoff may be best known for his 35 years of singing and organizing maritime music at Mystic Seaport Museum in CT, he has always maintained an active touring schedule featuring music from such formative influences as singers and songwriters from the “folk scare” of the 60s (Tom Paxton, Joan Baez, Steve Gillette…), songs collected in the Catskill Mountains where he grew up, and his time as a Sloopsinger with the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater and Pete Seeger.  Since his retirement from Mystic in June of ’19, Geoff has turned greater attention to music that speaks to issues of social justice, the climate crisis and our need to find common ground, and from that has come his latest recording, “On a Day Like Today,” including covers of songs from Jacques Brel, Leonard Cohen, David Mallett, Phil Ochs, John Prine, Pete Seeger and Kate Wolf.

Suggested minimum donation: $15. Contributions of food & drink to share are most welcome.
