70s FolkFest

Five Legendary Artists. Three Countries. Five Extraordinary Performers. One Unforgettable Acoustic Concert.

Get ready for a musical journey back to one of the greatest eras in the history of popular music!

70s FolkFest brings together the unforgettable music of the legendary singer-songwriters who defined the sound of the 1970s—John Denver, Jim Croce, Gordon Lightfoot, Cat Stevens, Neil Young, and Dan Fogelberg.

But here's what makes 70s FolkFest truly unique:

Five exceptional tribute performers. Five legendary artists. One extraordinary evening.

From Southern California, Rick Schuler brings the unmistakable music of John Denver to life with beloved classics including “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” “Rocky Mountain High,” “Annie's Song,” “Sunshine on My Shoulders,” and more.

New Jersey's Joseph Turkot captures the wit, warmth and remarkable storytelling of Jim Croce, performing favorites such as “Time in a Bottle,” “Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels),” “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown,” and more.

Florida's Andy Mauk delivers the distinctive voice and masterful songwriting of Canadian legend Gordon Lightfoot, including “If You Could Read My Mind,” “Sundown,” “Carefree Highway,” “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” and other Lightfoot classics.

Northern California's George Papailias brings the soulful, thoughtful music of Cat Stevens to the stage with songs including “Wild World,” “Peace Train,” “Morning Has Broken,” “Father and Son,” and more.

And Kentucky's Bob Ritter brings his remarkable talent to either Neil Young or Dan Fogelberg, with the featured artist selected specifically for the individual market, venue, and promoter.

When the evening features Neil Young, audiences can experience classics such as “Heart of Gold,” “Old Man,” “Southern Man,” and more.

When the evening features Dan Fogelberg, audiences can hear beloved songs including “Leader of the Band,” “Longer,” “Run for the Roses,” and more.

Every 70s FolkFest engagement is carefully tailored to its audience—featuring five legendary artists performed by five outstanding musicians.

And this isn't a tribute band. There are no gimmicks. No wall of amplifiers. No attempt to recreate a rock concert from the 1970s. Instead, 70s FolkFest gets to the heart of what made this music timeless: the songs, the voices, the acoustic guitars, and the stories. These were the artists who proved that a singer with a guitar and a great song could capture the imagination of millions. They came from three countries—America, Canada, and the United Kingdom—but their music crossed every border. They wrote about love and loss, mountains and highways, peace and protest, family and friendship, nature and the human experience. Their songs became part of the soundtrack of a generation—and many have become timeless classics for generations that followed.

Some became international superstars.

Some left us far too soon. Some rarely perform today. But their music remains. Now, five of these legendary artists come together in one remarkable unplugged acoustic concert experience.

70s FolkFest isn't just a trip down memory lane. It's a celebration of the songs that never left us.

Come sing along. Come remember. Come rediscover the music. 70s FolkFest — The music. The memories. The legends!
