Hollers & Reels of Georgia’s Okefenokee Swamp - Presented by Walter Parks

WALTER PARKS • HAUNTING SWAMP HOLLERS FROM GEORGIA

Performer, historian and writer Walter Parks shares his extensive Library of Congress archived research on three genres of music from Southeast Georgia’s Okefinokee Swamp – hymns, hollers and reels. This entertaining and educational workshop with performance examples and relevant stories also encompasses originals, reimagined Southern U.S. spirituals and Richie Havens classics.

Walter toured and recorded the world over with Woodstock legend Richie Havens – performing at New York’s Carnegie Hall and Madison Square Garden and at The Glastonbury Festival in England. In 2014, Walter was the sole accompanist of Judy Collins at her Lincoln Center tribute to Pete Seeger. Walter is the leader of two Americana roots groups – Swamp Cabbage (electric-folk/rock) and The Unlawful Assembly (reimagined spirituals).
