PHIL OCHS TRIBUTE CONCERT (FEAT. PAT WICTOR, GREG GREENWAY, AND REGGIE HARRIS)
Presented with the Folk Music Society of Huntington (FMSH)
Wednesday, June 17th at 7 PM (6:30 Open Mic)
$32 Public | $25 Members
Pat Wictor, Greg Greenway, and Reggie Harris will share the stage in this Hard Luck Café tribute to one of the greatest folk artists of the 1960s, the legendary Phil Ochs.
Singer, guitarist, and lyricist Phil Ochs was a defining voice of the 1960s folk revival, known for his political insight and deeply literate songwriting. Emerging from the Greenwich Village scene alongside artists like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, Ochs distinguished himself as a “topical singer,” crafting songs that directly engaged with the social and political upheavals of his time.
By the early 1960s, he had built a vast repertoire of original material, much of it centered on current events and moral questions. Songs like “I Ain’t Marching Anymore,” “Outside of a Small Circle of Friends,” and “The Ballad of William Worthy” established him as one of the era’s most insightful lyricists. His 1965 album I Ain’t Marching Anymore became an anthem of the anti–Vietnam War movement, cementing his role as a leading musical voice of protest. Combining poetic sophistication with a fearless political edge, he remains one of the most eloquent and uncompromising singer-songwriters of his generation.
