Ramblin' Jack Elliott plays at Freight & Salvage

Ramblin' Jack Elliott weaves amazing stories in and out of song, sharing stream-of-consciousness nuggets from the richly checkered career that he launched the day he ran away from home at age 14 to join Colonel Jim Eskew's Rodeo. After several detours, Jack ended up at the side of Woody Guthrie, learning the craft that made him a leading figure in folk music, influencing a generation of musicians. During his years on the road Jack also spent time with many luminaries, from Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and Phil Ochs to Jack Kerouac and Alan Ginsberg—and he's got stories about them all. We'll meet at an inexpensive Mexican cafe near by for optional food.
