Fred Small, once hailed by Pete Seeger as "one of America's best songwriters," will perform at 8 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 5, in the auditorium of Pearson Hall.
Opening for Small at 7:15 p.m. will be UD a cappella groups the Y-Chromes, D-Sharps and Overtones.
Small sings songs of conscience in the tradition of Woodie Guthrie, Phil Ochs and Tom Paxton. His music has been called powerful, affecting and inviting, illuminating the goodness and courage of all people. CD Review selected Small's latest album, Jaguar, as editor's choice for the year's best, and his "Everything Possible" was chosen as the grande finale of "Heart Strings," the nationally touring AIDS-benefit musical.
Before writing his first song in 1974, Small graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Yale, earned a law degree and master's degree in natural resources and went to work as a staff attorney for the Conservation Law Foundation. But, he quit in 1980 to devote full time to his music career.
His sensitive lyrics reflect his deep devotion to the environment as well as troubled relationships between men and women.
Tickets are $6 at the door and $5 in advance at University box offices in the Bob Carpenter Center and the Trabant University Center.
