A CELEBRATION OF BOB FRANKE

Bob Franke was one of the most influential and beloved folk songwriters to emerge from the post-1960s folk revival. His songs— including “Hard Love,” “Thanksgiving Eve,” and “The Great Storm Is Over”—became part of the American folk canon, sung everywhere from concert halls and churches to camps, classrooms, and life’s most meaningful moments. Recorded by artists such as Peter, Paul and Mary, Alison Krauss, and David Wilcox, Franke’s music touched generations through its deep humanity, humor, and spiritual insight. This concert honors Bob Franke’s extraordinary life and legacy, celebrating the songs that helped listeners recognize the beauty, resilience, and sacredness of their own lives and communities.

The host for the evening will be the incomparable Marilyn Rea Byer.
