Berkshires-based singer-songwriter Doug Mishkin is celebrating the release of his new
album, “Tip of the Spear,” in this concert at the Guthrie Center for the benefit of the
Guthrie Center.
Doug is best known for “Woody’s Children,” his song celebrating the legacy of Woody
Guthrie. In that tradition, his songs range from matters of social justice to matters of the
heart. “Tip of the Spear,” the title cut of his new album, is Doug’s idea of what God
would say to the human race.
Doug has shared the Guthrie Center stage on numerous occasions with his folk music
friends Tom Chapin, Aztec Two-Step and Christine Lavin, who will be joining Doug as a
special guest. On Doug’s 2008 album “Climbing That Ladder,” Doug recorded Peter
Yarrow’s “Sweet Survivor” accompanied by Peter.
Tom Paxton: “Doug Mishkin gets what folk music is all about and he passes it along
with energy and humor. He is a splendid and engaging performer. You will love him.”
Tom Chapin: “Don’t miss Doug Mishkin. He is a great singer, performer, song-leader,
musician and a longtime friend with whom I have shared many a stage.”
Christine Lavin: “Doug Mishkin is one of the top singer songwriters working today. It
has been an honor to share the stage with him at Lincoln Center’s Merkin Hall more
than once. All of his songs have the unmistakable ring of truth that all songwriters strive
for, but Doug achieves every time. And he was born with a beautiful singing voice,
which makes his performances all the more stirring and pleasurable.”
