Podcast 64: Richie Havens Remembered

Folk music icon Richie Havens passed away on April 22, 2013. On this week’s podcast, we listen in to an interview we conducted with Havens in 2010 at the Guild Guitars factory in New Hartford, Connecticut. This informal conversation covered Havens’ earliest days as a folk musician, his love for Doo-wop, his appreciation for Guilds and a lot more.

During our visit, Havens performed a few tunes for the Guild employees. Below, is some shaky footage we took of the musician performing “Here Comes the Sun.”

RIP Richie.
