Tom Paxton is a masterful performer and songwriter who specializes in topical music,
children's songs, and romantic ballads. Pete Seegers has compared him with Woody
Guthrie. He has been recording his music since 1970 and performs at major venues across
the U.S. throughout the year. He has released over a dozen recordings. In 2009
Tom was honored with a 2009 LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD from the Recording Academy during
the 51st Annual Grammy®Awards, on Feburary 8th.
Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy an icon of American folk music in the magical setting
of the Tabernacle.
"Tom's Songs have a way of sneaking
up on you. You find yourself humming them, whistling them, and singing a verse to a
friend. Like the songs of Woody Guthrie, they're becoming part of America."
-- Pete Seeger"Tom Paxton's songs are so powerful and lyrical,
written from the heart and the conscience, and they reach their mark, our most inner
being. He writes stirring songs of social protest and gentle songs of love, each woven
together with his personal gift for language. His melodies haunt, his lyrics reverberate.
I have sung Tom's songs for three decades and will go on doing so in the new century, for
they are beautiful and timeless, and meant for every age."
-- Judy Collins
Every folk singer I know has either sung a Tom
Paxton song, is singing a Tom Paxton song or will soon sing a Tom Paxton song. Now either
all the folk singers are wrong, or Tom Paxton is one hell of a songwriter."
-- Holly Near
