Join us for a Special Salute to Jean Ritchie - Mad About Trad Music.
Famed Port Washington Folkie Jean Ritchie grew up singing old songs that seemed to have been around forever and made a life's mission of preserving the songs of her youth in Kentucky and traditional songs from around the country. In this special show saluting her, Long Island folk-rock harmony trio Gathering Time will borrow a page from Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span and other great groups of the '60s and '70s, taking old-time songs and giving them the folk-rock treatment with their spectacular, signature 3-part harmonies.
