David Massengill Concert
Our Times Coffeehouse welcomes David Massengill at 8 p.m.. The singer and story teller, who also plays a mean Appalachian lap dulcimer, has been essential to keeping the American folk music tradition alive. Massengill’s best-known songs include “On the Road to Fairfax County,” recorded by The Roches and by Joan Baez, “The Great American Dream” and “My Name is Joe.” By birth a Tennessean, he became part of the Greenwich Village folk scene in the mid-1970s, playing the same storied coffee houses as Bob Dylan and Dave Van Ronk. He has released six albums, 11 bootlegs and 14 books. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. that evening for ticket sales. The suggested donations are $15 adults and $10 students with ID. No presales are available. Our Times Coffeehouse is in the Ethical Humanist Society building at 38 Old Country Rd., two miles west of Meadowbrook Parkway next to the blue water tower in Garden City.
