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 over three decades, Richie has used his music to convey messages of community and personal freedom. With more than twenty-five albums released and a touring schedule that would kill many a younger man, he continues to view his calling as a higher one. As he told The Denver Post, "I really sing songs that move me. I’m not in show business, I’m in the communications business. That’s what it’s about for me".THIS SHOW IS A BENEFIT FOR THE CENTER FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE AT CASE WESTERN UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW.
