Bradford Creative & Performing Arts Center has added Peter Yarrow to open for John Sebastian at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 2.
The performance is scheduled for the Bromeley Family Theater located at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. John Sebastian was previously announced as the headliner.
BCPAC Executive Director David Fillenwarth adds, “I’m extremely proud to bring these two legends to Bradford for one night of passionate stories and their music. Each performer will offer a retrospective of their incredible careers. This will certainly be a night to remember.”
Yarrow’s talents as a creative artist both with Peter, Paul & Mary and as a solo performer are frequently directed at using music to convey a message of humanity and caring. His gift for songwriting has produced some of the most moving songs Peter, Paul & Mary have recorded, including “Puff, the Magic Dragon,” “Day is Done,” “Light One Candle,” and “The Great Mandala.” As a member of the renowned musical trio, he has earned many gold and platinum albums, has been awarded numerous Grammys, and nominated for several more. More important to Yarrow, however, is the acknowledgment of the central role that he and his partners have played in bringing the folk renaissance of the 1960s to the hearts and homes of the American public.
He has explored his talents in filmmaking as well, producing the critically acclaimed feature, “You are What You Eat,” as well as three animated television specials based on “Puff, the Magic Dragon,” for which he received an Emmy nomination.
Tickets are priced at $39 each and will be available for season subscribers on July 10, and for the general public Aug. 23. Additional information will be forthcoming at the BCPAC office 814-362-2522, or online at www.bcpac.com.
