Joe Jencks of the DeKalb and Rockford area has teamed with Pat Wictor, and Greg Greenway, forming a dynamic new male trio. Their harmonies, as much as their lyrics, tell what they are about: warm as a campfire, stirring as a gospel church, rousing as a call to arms. Calling upon contemporary songwriting, and informed by the deep roots of gospel, blues, and folk, the trio weaves a tapestry of harmony that is brilliantly fresh and yet familiar.
Nationally and internationally touring and highly acclaimed individual folk artists in their own right, from three major points on the map – Boston, New York, and Chicago – Pat, Greg, and Joe celebrate the amazing power of singing together. Their combined musical skills will make for an unforgettable evening – three rich voices blending on a well-crafted foundation of guitar, slide guitar, and piano. (You may hear a sampling of their music here.)
Joe Jencks is an international touring performer, songwriter, entertainer, and educator who applies his conservatory training to a contemporary genre and offers the listener the best of both worlds. Joe’s latest release is “Links In A Chain.” He is joined by Greg Greenway, who the Boston Globe has described as “one of the strongest and finest voices in folk music today.” The trio is rounded out with Pat Wictor whom many on the acoustic, blues, folk and Americana circuits are talking about. He has received numerous awards and honors over the past five years and has created five solo CDs.
When these individual talents are woven into a trio the result is a beautiful evening of music, stories, and unforgettable entertainment.
Before they perform on September 3rd you will also have an opportunity to enjoy the sweet mellow harmonies of the Conley Trio, Ellen and Nelle Conley along with Jen Jencks Conley. The Conley trio begins the evening of song at 7:30 pm followed by Brother Sun at 8pm.
