Joe Jencks sings with a lyric baritone voice that has the edgy richness of a good sea-salt caramel. A 25-year veteran of the international Folk circuit, an award-winning songwriter and a celebrated vocalist based in the Chicago area, Joe delivers engaged musical narratives filled with heart, soul, groove, and grit. Blending well-crafted instrumentals and vivid songwriting, he is known for his performances of musical beauty, social consciousness, and spiritual exploration. Jencks has penned several #1 Folksongs including the ever-relevant Lady of The Harbor. From Carnegie Hall to Lincoln Center to Festivals across the U.S. and Canada, Jencks has become a fan favorite throughout North America and beyond.
 
Joe’s 2017 CD Poets, Philosophers, Workers, and Wanderers earned #1 Artist, #1 Album, and #1 Song on the North American Folk DJ Chart as well as spending several weeks at #1 on the SIRIUS XM Americana Chart. In August 2022 Joe released The Coming of the Years – a new album more deeply exploring matters of social justice and his Irish heritage and receiving critical acclaim. In addition to his work as a touring performer, songwriter, and producer, Joe also leads songwriting workshops with diverse communities from Military Veterans to School Children. Joe is a dual US-Irish citizen and has served as a Cultural Ambassador with the US State Department. He also received a grant in 2020 from the Archives of American Folk Music at The Library of Congress.

This is a wonderful concert for all ages.
