On your radio October 4—Joe Jencks
Originally broadcast 9/20/2009
“The key to the future is people joining in. The music of Joe Jencks captures this essential spirit. Joe is a fantastic singer who carries on the traditions.” — Pete Seeger
An international touring performer, songwriter, entertainer, and educator, Joe Jencks has spent the last seven years touring full-time in concert halls like Lincoln Center, coffee houses, festivals, spiritual communities, and schools. He’s earned respect for his unique merging of musical beauty, social consciousness, and spiritual exploration while weaving a diverse web of stories with his brilliant musical skill.
Drawing on his Irish heritage, Joe uses his lush and lyrical voice to enchant, heal, and inspire to action. He’s won numerous songwriting awards for his original work, and is highly regarded as a song interpreter. Joe’s sixth and latest release, “The Candle and the Flame,” is so personal and so passionate that it shatters any stereotype and places him solidly on the map as one of the finest modern singer-songwriters.
