Charlie King is a musical storyteller and political satirist. He has been at the heart of American folk music for 60 years, his songs having been recorded and sung by Pete Seeger, Holly Near, Ronnie Gilbert, John McCutcheon, Arlo Guthrie, and Chad Mitchell. In recognition of his activism for social and political justice, in 2017 he received the annual Phil Ochs Award. Other honors include: the War Resisters League’s 1998 Peacemaker Award & the 1999 Sacco-Vanzetti Social Justice Award for which he was nominated by Pete Seeger.
Rick Burkhardt is an Obie-award-winning performer, composer, and playwright, touring nationally with the satirical political cabaret duo, The Prince Myshkins. His songs have been featured on NPR’s Morning Edition, Pacifica Radio, and Democracy Now. Rick Burkhardt’s works have been performed in Europe, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Taiwan and New Zealand. He has done national tours as a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and accordionist, and his plays have been produced by New York Theater Workshop, LaMama, PS122, JACK, and the American Repertory Theater.
Together King & Burkhardt blend an evening of edgy harmonies, incendiary lyrics, powerful instrumentation and theatrical hijinks. Trust me, a show not to be missed!
