Joe Jencks and Deidre McCalla Concert

Deidre McCalla writes with honesty and lyricism that celebrates the strength and diversity of the human spirit, having shared stages with artists like Suzanne Vega and Tracy Chapman. Her song “Shoulder To The Wheel” topped folk charts and won an international award. Chicago-based singer and activist Joe Jencks, co-founder of Brother Sun, has performed with folk legends Pete Seeger and Utah Phillips. His concerts are joyful acts of singing and defiance. The evening at The Ark brought these powerful voices together for a memorable night of music and meaning, with special benefits for Ark members.
