KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County (UUCLC) will host a Pete Seeger Songfest at the UUCLC/Methodist Church in Kelseyville at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 13.

The UUCLC/Methodist Church is located at 3810 Main St. in Kelseyville (across from the Saw Shop).

The songfest will honor Pete Seeger, singing many of his well-loved songs, including “If I Had a Hammer,” “Turn, Turn, Turn,” “Where Have All the Flowers Gone” and many others.

All interested singers are welcome, with no experience necessary. Led by composer/guitarist Jim Scott, who knew Seeger well and collaborated on many projects with the folk legend, participants will raise their voices for the causes Seeger championed, remembering the great contributions to our American heritage Seeger made in his 94 years of life.

The legacy of Seeger’s poetry and song will guide and inspire the evening.

Written music which Scott has arranged will be provided, and all will be able to join in by ear and on-the-spot teaching.

Scott brings a warmth and authenticity that turns any size audience into an intimate gathering. With lyrical melodies, well-crafted words, guitar mastery and humorous surprises, he invites all to get involved with the songs and ideals he raises.

Known to many as guitarist with the Paul Winter Consort and co-composer of their celebrated “Missa Gaia / Earth Mass,” Scott is a prolific composer in his own right.

Scott has visited more than 600 UU churches over three decades of travels. His much loved “Gather the Spirit” and other songs are in the UU hymnbooks.

He also has become a student of the movement for peace and justice in song, compiling and arranging the “Earth and Spirit Songbook,” a collection of more than 100 songs of earth and peace by many contemporary composers, including Seeger.

Tickets are priced on a sliding scale donation between $12-$18.
