Spook Handy.
Spook Handy performed alongside Pete Seeger at festivals and concerts over 50 times from 2003 – 2013. He learned firsthand many of Pete’s songs and the stories behind them. Now, Spook is on a three year “Remembering Pete Seeger” World Tour bringing these songs and stories and Pete’s message to all 50 U.S states, all 13 Canadian provinces and territories, and many other countries as well as all 21 New Jersey counties.
Handy can be heard at theaters, arts centers, libraries, universities, churches and anywhere else people gather to celebrate Pete’s life and legacy. His new CD “Pete, Woody and Me – Volume I” is due out by year’s end. Spook was named Best Folk Artist by Upstage Magazine, Gannett New Jersey, The Courier News, The Home News and About.com. He has written for theater and film and his original songs have charted as high as #6 on the International Folk Radio Charts.
“Spook Handy brings to the stage an awareness and respect for the history and origins of the music. His enthusiasm, music and stories are infectious and draw the audience into the show,” states Dan & Marianne Jackson of the Forksville Folk Festival
