Jencks performing Oct. 6 at Franklin coffeehouse
FRANKLIN – Circle of Friends Coffeehouse will host a performance by Joe Jencks, with Katherine Rondeau, on Saturday, Oct. 6, at 8 p.m.
Jencks is an international touring musician, award-winning songwriter, and celebrated vocalist known for his performances of musical beauty, social consciousness and spiritual exploration. Joe has released 15 CDs over a 20-year musical career.
Having penned folk songs including the ever-relevant “Lady of The Harbor,” Jencks has become a fan favorite throughout North America, and is the co-founder of Brother Sun. Merging conservatory training with his Irish roots and working-class upbringing, he delivers engaged musical narratives filled with heart, soul, groove and grit. 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.
Rondeau will open the show. Passionate and full of conviction, with a big voice and an even bigger spirit, Katherine is a singer-songwriter with an unforgettable style. A New Jersey native, Katherine’s roots-inspired sound is an organic blend drawing inspiration from folk, blues, and mountain music.
