Richie Havens, whose live performance is as captivating as always, with a passionate and inspiring display of timelessness and spirit, has shows booked this fall that continue through the end of March, with more to be added. Special guests include Derek Trucks and Harry Manx.
His concerts include music from his most recent album, 2004’s “Grace of the Sun,” as well as a broad selection of songs from his extensive repertoire. On a side note, Haven’s 1981 hit “Going Back to My Roots” has hit dance floors in the form of a cool Afro-beat remix by celebrated remixer/producer and club DJ Danny Krivit.
Havens has just recorded his 27th album “Nobody Left to Crown” to be released in Europe this fall on Polydor Records; no American release has been confirmed yet.
