Phil Ochs Song Night Sat. May 13, 2023 7:30pm at the Linda, Albany, NY

An evening where five artists will present the songs of ’60’s legend, Phil Ochs. Reggie Harris, Pat Wictor, Kate McDonnell, Louise Mosrie, and Greg Greenway will join forces to sing individually and together on the Linda stage.

The songs of Phil Ochs are alive and well, indeed, they sometimes ring as true as they did when first performed on Greenwich Village stages of the early ‘60s. At the time, Ochs and Bob Dylan were considered on parallel tracks to national prominence, until in 1964, Dylan went electric, dropped his politics, and began his historic rise to Pop stardom. Ochs remained true to his socially conscious, humanistic, anti-Vietnam War message, and inscribed his lyrical songs into the hearts of a generation of activists around the world. In the process, he created some of the most memorable Folk songs of all time. “Changes,” “When I’m Gone,” “I Ain’t Marching Any More,” and “There But for Fortune” have been covered by dozens of artists through the years from Joan Baez to Ani DiFranco.
