The Green Man ~ Voice of the Forest

The GREEN MAN ~ Voice of the Forest
A journey into the voice and messages of the Green Man, the embodiment of wild nature. Moving through his
incantatory praise anthems of earth, his didactic admonitions of humanity, his cryptic myths and tender verses,
the listener is brought on a voyage out of the city and down into the dark soil of the forest, the realm of soul
and mystery and awe.

An opening set will warm the evening as musician Nick Davidson shares his earthy acoustic fingerpicking and
slide guitar tunes rooted in folk music.
