Paragons of People's Music: Kris Kristofferson

Music of Kris KristoffersonDoug Morris is back by popular request! This summer, he will help us celebrate a number of monumental songwriters and singers of "people's music" who have made vital contributions to U.S. culture. On June 12 you'll learn all about Kris Kristofferson and his music in this interactive presentation.

Each 90 minute performance will focus on the songs/music of a particular artist and include commentary, discussion, projected lyrics, and some visual revelations. There will be opportunities in each case for some singing along and possibilities for exploring various percussion instruments. All are welcome. Creating and sharing some collective joy will be one of the hoped for outcomes for each "Paragons of People's Music" program.   

Doug Morris (Ph.D., Penn State) teaches in the world of critical pedagogy at West Chester University and is a former jazz guitarist, singer, composer, and performer of "people's songs," and has written about Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bruce Springsteen, and others in the tradition of "people's music."
