Thursday, March 17 | 6:30 p.m. Champagne Reception | 7:00 p.m. Concert
Folk singer and folk song archivist Paul Ramshaw has been gathering folk songs he loves since the 1960s. He has performed at churches, coffee houses, and people’s homes for five decades to adoring audiences. Most recently he performed and led group singing every Saturday morning with homeless women. He is a retired appellate lawyer, specializing in employment discrimination law.
In this concert, since it is a literary event, he will include many songs by the award-winning lyricist Fred Small. Hailed by Pete Seeger as “one of America’s best songwriters,” Fred Small writes music that inspires, empowers, and entertains. “Simple majesty in songwriting . . . Literate, insightful, witty, level-headed. Fred Small is one of the most engaging songwriters of this day.” The Boston Globe.
Our purpose is to offer visibility, community, and inspiration to the writers and readers of San Miguel de Allende; to honor the long history of distinguished writers living and working here; to enrich the cultural life and educational opportunities for local residents in both Spanish and English; and to establish San Miguel de Allende as a leading destination for literary and cultural tourism commensurate with its status as a World Heritage Site. We believe that reading and writing are essential, that great literature enriches our lives, feeds our souls, and facilitates greater understanding of ourselves and others.
