Joe Jencks will perform on Sunday, June 2, at 4 p.m. at the Middleburgh Library.
The Middleburgh Library’s Not so Quiet Concert Series presents Joe Jencks on Sunday, June 2, at 4 p.m.
Based in chicago, Jencks is an 18-year veteran of the international folk circuit and an award-winning songwriter. “Merging conservatory training with his Irish roots and working-class upbringing, Joe delivers engaged musical narratives filled with heart, soul, groove and grit,” says a write-up from the library. “Blending well-crafted instrumentals and vivid songwriting, Jencks serves it all up with a lyric baritone voice that has the edgy richness of a good sea-salt caramel.”
Tickets are available at the door. A $10 donation is suggested. Please use the library’s back entrance.
