Description: With a voice unlike anyone else, Richie Havens soulful singing has touched thousands since his debut on the Greenwich Village folk scene in the 1960s. A living legend, Havens Freedom/Motherless Child has become an unofficial American anthem. This year, in a special 40th anniversary tour commemorating the Woodstock Music and Art Fair where he was the opening act, Havens continues his musical mission of promoting brotherhood and freedom, ecological awareness and hope for a better world.

Joining Havens on the stage is Mysticssippi blues man Harry Manx. Now from the south, Manx honed his musical skills in countries from around the globe. In the 80s he became mesmerized with music of India and now plays a signature east-meets-west style of music thats part blues, part Indian folk melody, with roots in groove and gospel, and ultimately all around delicious to listen to.
