PETE SEEGER: THE STORM KING Coming to Capitol Center for the Arts Next Month

The Capitol Center for the Arts presents Pete Seeger: The Storm King, featuring Pete Seeger's spoken words-in his own recorded voice-set to live music and video based on the Grammy nominated audio project conceived and produced by world-renowned percussionist and producer, Jeff Haynes for one night only on Thursday, January 29, at 7pm.

Jeff Haynes, Sara Milonovich, Sean Harkness, Timothy Hill, and Richie Stearns present new music created by musicians from traditions as diverse as African Music, Blues, Bluegrass, Classical Guitar, Folk, Jazz, and Native American Music-to accompany and interact with Pete Seeger's voice-painting an evocative aural backdrop for Pete's most engaging stories, narratives, and poems reflecting his lifelong dedication to human rights, environmental issues, and his boundless hope for humanity-bringing Pete's wisdom and stories to new audiences and into a new technological age.

Each piece is unique in sound and emotion and also in how it came together. Haynes and Seeger, working closely for over 5 years, have created something spectacular-weaving Pete's words to the music of artists from around the world, who may not otherwise have shared a stage with Pete but who have been deeply influenced by him.

The result is astounding.

Grammy award winning percussionist and producer, Jeff Haynes has toured with everyone from the Pat Metheny Group, Al Jarreau, and Lizz Wright to Harry Belafonte and Peabo Bryson and his chops can be heard on over 100 CDs. His creative direction as a producer on his recent release of PETE SEEGER THE STORM KING, Pete Seeger spoken word set to multi-genre music from over 50 musicians, has been recognized with acclaim from Publisher's Weekly, Amazon, AudioFile Magazine, Library Journal, has been nominated for a GRAMMY, and is a 2014 AUDIE AWARD Finalist.
