An Evening with Eric Andersen @ Roy's Hall

Eric Andersen has maintained a career as a folk-based singer/songwriter since the 1960s. In contrast to such peers as Tom Paxton and Phil Ochs, Andersen’s writing has had a romantic/philosophical/poetic bent for the most part, rather than a socially conscious one, though one of his best-known songs, “Thirsty Boots,” is about the Freedom Riders in the early ’60s. (The song has been recorded by Judy Collins and others.)
