Event
Jim Page in Concert
Jim Page is on the road again and will be coming back to the Marshall Grange for an evening of music and song on Saturday May 13. Jim n Paige will open the show at 7:30 P.M. with a Bad Radio tribute to Mothers Day.
Jim is a topical folk singer in the tradition of folks like Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and U. Utah Phillips. His songs are stories of social relevance honestly chronicling the events of the day, told with enough empathy and humor to leave you feeling that there is still hope. As U. Utah Phillips said, Jim Pages songs get right to the point. He looks at the world clearly and reports what he sees with compassion, humor and a biting sense of irony. And boy! can he sing and play. If youre ever going to get the message, this is the messenger to get it from.
He learned his performance skills on the streets of New York and Europe, then honed them in Seattle after he got the city council to adopt an ordinance legalizing busking and opening up the city for its now famous street music scene. Jims songs cover a wide range of topics from sweet songs celebrating the good in the world to hard hitting songs about darker things like collateral damage in the Middle Eastern wars. His songs have been covered by notables including Christy Moore, The Moving Hearts, Dick Gaughan, Roy Bailey, The Doobie Brothers, Leftover Salmon, David Soul, John Trudell and others. Much of his catalogue has been archived by Smithsonian Folkways and the anti-nuclear anthem Hiroshima Nagasaki Russian Roulette is included on the Grammy nominated Smithsonian Folkways Collection Best of Broadside.
Like the troubadours and topical folk singers of old, Jim chronicles the events of our time, opening the minds and souls of those willing to listen and leaving them with a smile on their face and hope in their heart. Jim is an American Treasure, a versatile man, who will take you on a roller coaster ride of both the mind and the soul, and let you off with a smile on your face and hope in your heart. You can learn more about him and sample his music at www.jimpage.net.
Jim Holden and Paige Felton made their mark on the Georgetown Divide as hosts of the program Bad Radio on KFOK. They are taking their show of wit, the unexpected, and always fun, from the broadcast studio to the Marshall Grange stage for a special tribute to Mothers Day. We are all in for a treat.
This is a delightful way to celebrate Mothers Day with an evening of music, tasty treats and drinks, and at the same time support live music in the community.
