Race and Song: A Musical Conversation with Reggie Harris and Alastair Moock

REGGIE HARRIS is a well-traveled performer, lecturer, and cultural ambassador, and has earned wide acclaim and respect from peers and audiences alike throughout the world. He combines spirituals and roots music, historic inspiration, and moving original songs, often on the themes of unity and social justice. He is a favorite at our Walkabout Coffeehouse.

ALASTAIR MOOCK is a Grammy-nominated American folk and family music performer from Boston, Massachusetts, ALASTAIR MOOCK is known for his gruff voice, playful lyrics, and fingerpicking guitar style. The wearer of many musical hats, Alastair is a Boston Music Awards-nominated singer-songwriter and a much –loved provider of school assemblies and residencies for students of all ages. With his career “firing on all cylinders,” Alastair performs for adults, kids, and everyone in between. Like the folk and blues heroes to whom he often pays tribute in his shows – Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Mississippi John Hurt, Pete Seeger – Alastair makes little distinction between his audiences, saying: “Music is music, people are people. I just want to tell stories.”
