Massachusetts and Woodstock, New York. He gained a devoted and lasting following for his unusual tenor voice, finely crafted interpretations and driving fingerpicking guitar style.</span></p>

Center in New York City, The Getty Art Center in Los Angeles and Royal Festival Hall in London, as well as headlining folk and blues festivals throughout America and Europe. He appears frequently as a guest on the radio show "A Prairie Home Companion" and
has been featured on a variety of National Public Radio shows, including Weekend Edition, All Things Considered, and Fresh Air.</span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Muldaur’s most recent albums, <i>The Secret Handshake, Password, Private Astronomy </i>and <i>Texas Sheiks,</i> all released to wide critical acclaim, highlight
the long development of his unique interpretations of classic and often obscure American music as well as his own compositions. In 2016, more than 50 years after playing with the Jim Kweskin Jug Band, he and Mr. Kweskin joined forces to release an upbeat folk-blues
album, <i>Penny's Farm. </i>This recording features both old and new material and showcases the deep camaraderie that the two musicians have shared for decades.

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Describing Geoff Muldaur's albums, the New York Times said he "...succeeds not because he copies the timbre and inflections of a down-home African American
but because his voice – reedy, quavering, otherworldly – is so unusual that what he sings becomes little more than a context, a jumping-off point.”</span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Folk musician Tom Rush says: “Geoff has a voice like nobody else. When he sings you just have to listen. He has a way with a song that makes you wish it
would never end. The combination of Geoff's amazing voice and the way he wraps it around a song makes his music irresistible.” </span></p>

two of them.”</span></p>
