Richie Havens is gifted with one of the most recognizable voices in popular music. His fiery, poignant, always soulful, singing style has remained unique and ageless since he first emerged from the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 1960’s. It’s a voice that has inspired and electrified audiences from the Woodstock Music & Arts Fair in 1969, to the Clinton Presidential Inauguration in 1993-coming full circle with the 30th Woodstock Anniversary celebration, "A Day In The Garden", in 1999. For three decades, Havens has used his music to convey messages of brotherhood and personal freedom.
