Folksinger Spook Handy will perform his first concert in Idaho at Pocatello’s Marshall Public Library, 113 S. Garfield Avenue, at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 24th. The concert is free to the public.
Spook's songs range from spiritual to songs about social responsibility, sometimes blatant, sometimes covert and are full of fictitious and real characters that have walked through his life. The settings of many Spook tunes come from the part-time jobs he's had.
The best description of Spook's musical style comes from fellow songwriter briz who says: "The lyrical wit of John Prine, the humor of Arlo Guthrie, the sincerity of John Denver, the boldness of Bob Dylan and the courage of Pete Seeger meld into a cohesive unit that emerges full of hope and promise."
Kim Ruehl of about.com named Spook “Best Folk Artist You’ve Never Heard Of” in 2006.
After his library concert, he will perform at Senang’s that evening at 7:30 p.m. Spook will also be a guest on an upcoming Library Radio Show.
I'll be there
