A Pete Seeger Tribute

Woody’s Choice—CCFM Salle Pauline-Boutal

This show is exactly what it says on the tin: a live band singalong to Pete Seeger’s repertoire, albeit with some questionable and sparse ingredients. Audience members may wish to study before attending this performance, as the band offers very little in the way of context and generally do not provide lyrics despite their large, underutilized overhead projection screen and repeated invitations to sing along.

The musicians seem to be underprepared and underrehearsed, often unsure of what the next tune in their set was or the details of relevant anecdotes that would have added more depth to their tribute performance. While the intention to celebrate Seeger’s spirit is clear, the band ultimately lacks the enthusiasm and musical confidence necessary to lead the kind of communal, energized singalong they seem to envision.
