Evening Concert - Kennedy Outdoor Theater
When two of
America's best songwriters get together the result
could be electric, but it is not. It is acoustic.
Jack Hardy and David Massengill have known each
other since they both moved to New York City in the
mid-seventies, Jack from Colorado, David from
Tennessee. The Boston Globe has said, "Jack
Hardy is one of the most influential figures today
in defining the American Folk Song." The same
could be said of David Massengill. In this era of
pop-driven acoustic music, these two have
dual-handedly kept the folk tradition alive in
songwriting.
Jack and David
have shared many a stage together at clubs and
festivals, been members of the weekly songwriters
workshop since its inception, and worked on the Fast
Folk Magazine together. They have traveled together,
boulevardiered together, played softball together,
had the occasional adult beverage together. And now
they are forming a duo: The Folk Brothers. Move over
Simon and Garfunkel and Don and Phil.
