Daniel Pearl World Music Days at Linden Tree on Oct. 12, 2013 Featuring outstanding folk performer from UK: Jez Lowe The Linden Tree Coffeehouse of Wakefield is pleased to announce that their October 12th concert features a return visit from Jez Lowe. This show is one of thousands of performances worldwide happening this month as part of Daniel Pearl World Music Days. Daniel Pearl, the journalist and musician kidnapped and murdered by terrorists in Pakistan was a classically-trained violinist, as well as a fiddler and mandolin player who joined musical groups wherever he traveled. Through music, it is our hope that music can bridge differences among people and achieve harmony for humanity. danielpearlmusicdays For the last thirty years, singer and songwriter Jez Lowe has taken his songs of life in his native North East England to audiences across the world, sometimes solo, sometimes with his band The Bad Pennies, and sometimes in a variety of collaborative and commissioned musical enterprises, all of which have made him one of the most hard-working and popular acoustic/folk artists of the present day. As well as his own performances and tours around the globe, featuring Jez accompanying himself on guitar, cittern, mandolin and harmonica, Jez’s songs also travel independently, thanks to cover versions by the likes of Fairport Convention, The Dubliners, Cherish The Ladies, The Tannahill Weavers, The McCalmans, Bob Fox, The Black Family, The Clancys and scores more folk acts around the world. His latest album, his fifteenth, entitled “Wotcheor!”, has once more thrust him into the spotlight, with a successful series of stage shows, and a fistful of outstanding reviews, and a renewed interest in his brand of pointed, poignant and powerful musical epistles from the North, that have brought him a nomination for Folksinger of the Year in the BBC Folk Awards, an “album of the year” award in the US-based Inde-Acoustic Awards, and a Sony Radio Award for his contribution to the prestigious Radio Ballads series for the BBC, over the last five years alone. Jez has been called by Richard Thompson, an international folk star in his own right, “the best songwriter to come out of England in a long time.” Thanks to support in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, Wakefield Council, tickets will be $18, $10 forstudents under 13. Home made baked goods and beverages will be sold prior to the show and during intermission. The Linden Tree Coffeehouse is located at the Unitarian-Universalist Church, 326 Main Streeet, Wakefield.
