Charlie King is a musical storyteller and political satirist. Pete Seeger hailed him as "One of the finest singers and songwriters of our time." Charlie has been at the heart of American folk music since the early 60s. His songs have been recorded and sung by Pete Seeger, Holly Near, Ronnie Gilbert, John McCutcheon, and Arlo Guthrie. He and Tret have been performing online lately, and this is their first in-person appearance since the pandemic.
"If we had more Charlie Kings in the world, I'd be less worried." - Peggy Seeger
"Luckily, we have him!" - Tom Paxton
