Folk singer Bob Nelson will perform at Pocatello’s Marshall Public Library, 113 South Garfield Avenue, Friday, September 18, 2009, at 2:00 p.m. This event is free to the public. Bob Nelson heard his first folksong at age 13 and for the next nine years built his repertoire of traditional folk songs. Since his retirement Bob has returned to his first love of folk music. He recently started a recording archive project, digitizing hundreds of cassette and vinyl recordings of various folk musicians, and documenting the background of each performer.
When Bob Nelson steps on stage, the room comes alive with his songs and stories. A vital performer, Bob shares his sixty years of song collecting, as well as his knowledge and love of their histories. His baritone voice and consummate guitar accompaniments enthrall audiences, young and old.
While in the area, Bob will also perform a concert at Senang’s on Thursday evening, September 17 at 7:30 p.m., and he will make a guest appearance on the Library’s television show While You’re at the Library.
