RAVE REVIEWS for Pete Seeger: Storm King – Touring Show
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPete Seeger: Storm King\u00a0was one of those very rare evenings in the theatre when the audience and musicians truly share and celebrate a remarkable artist\u2019s life. Remembering and learning anew about Pete Seeger\u2019s music and his abiding belief in each individual\u2019s potential was more than refreshing \u2013 it was an antidote to everything in the daily news. One gentleman in our audience told me, \u201cI only cried six or seven times during the show.\u201d\u201d\u2014Michele Roberge, Executive Director, Carpenter Performing Arts Center<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen these passionate and talented artists perform together, they create a chemistry that is as wonderful to see as it is to hear . . .\u201d\u2014The Palladium-Times<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe onstage performance . . . is hauntingly moving and strikes a deep chord.\u201d\u2014Kathryn Ross, Wellsville Daily Reporter<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This project brings Pete\u2019s wisdom and stories to new audiences and into a new technological age.<\/p>\n
