Phil Ochs Song Night, Princeton Folk Music Society

Friday November 21, 2025
8:00 PM

A Princeton Folk Music Society celebration of the music of folk legend Phil Ochs, featuring Greg Greenway, Reggie Harris, Louise Mosrie and Pat Wictor.

Phil Ochs was at the core of the early 1960’s Greenwich Village folk music movement, and was known for his civil rights and protest songs such as I Ain't Marching Anymore. He died in 1976. Starting in 1983, many of Phil’s compatriots (including Suzanne Vega, Melanie, Tom Paxton, Christine Lavin, and Dave Van Ronk) came together to remember and honor him at Phil Ochs Song Nights in various Greenwich Village venues. Initially the concert was limited to songs written by Phil himself, but performers now include some of their own songs as well, to keep the program fresh, up-to-date, and vibrant. Phil Ochs Song Night has grown into a more than annual tradition, embracing various musicians and venues.
