A GREAT WAY TO START YOUR NEW YEAR!!! January 12th , 2025 6p 5308 Buffalo Speedway Houston, TX 77005 SECOND SUNDAY CONCERTS Presents JOHN FLYNN! John Flynn is an American singer-songwriter and activist known for his powerful music and tireless efforts on behalf of the lost and the lonely, the shackled and scarred. “You want a bad ass folk cat who tears off pieces of his soul, rhymes them and lays lyrics that bleed on melodies that even poet angels smoking cigarettes in the alleys of seventh heaven envy and soulful little demons hanging around Detroit recording studios all wishing they could sing like him? Well then, John Flynn is your man.” — ray wylie hubbard “...His work follows in the footsteps of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Kris Kristofferson, and other social justice troubadours as he speaks the truth and gives a voice to society's disenfranchised. His work fills your heart and opens your eyes as he continues to walk the walk of a true advocate for equality, justice, and peace." ―Deana McCloud, Executive Director of the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa ~https://johnflynn.net/ Singer-Songwriter Carol Burrus will open! Carol's songs range from spiritual to political to the good old love song. Her voice is a strong, sweet and clear alto, having grown up singing in musicals and jazz and variety bands. In addition to her songwriting and singing, she also plays piano, ukulele and flute. ~https://www.traveler.band/about Second Sunday Concert is presented by the Houston Folklore and Music Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion of singer-songwriters working in the folk music traditions.
