There's an Odetta concert tomorrow, Saturday, July 7 at 1:30 PM on Governors Island as part of the Folks on the Island Festival. Concert, access to the island, and ferry ride are FREE!
Odetta is one of the most influential artists alive today — and if you have a chance, take your kids! Her 1950s and '60s classic recordings of "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands," "Kumbaya," "Goodnight Irene," "Amazing Grace" and "This Little Light of Mine," became folk and spiritual classics throughout the world and inspired an entire generation. She is a pioneer, and the first major influence on the careers of Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Tracy Chapman, Carly Simon, and Jewel, to name a few. Directions to the ferry.
