Odetta January 21, 2006

Calliope: The Pittsburgh Folk Music Society presents Odetta. One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, Odetta is a master who inspired Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Judy Collins and still inspires singers like Tracy Chapman and Nanci Griffith. Odetta sang "Oh, Freedom" to the masses at Dr. King's 1963 March on Washington, and introduced the world to what are now the classic folk tunes.
