Join us for an evening of acoustic melodies and candid storytelling as Doug and Rick weave together memorable songs and stories. The two craft a seamless narrative arc—a dynamic call-and-response where music illuminates the prose and stories deepen the song lyrics.

Doug is a singer-songwriter best known for “Woody’s Children,” his song celebrating the legacy of Woody Guthrie. In 2025, he released his third album, “Tip of the Spear.” (dougmishkin.com)
