Doug Mishkin is a singer-songwriter best known for “Woody’s Children,” his song celebrating the legacy of Woody Guthrie. Doug says he was “born the night my mother took me to my first Pete Seeger concert” and then “came of age at the campfire where I first heard the songs of Tom Paxton, Phil Ochs and the rest of that crew. Those songs spoke to me—and they still do.”

Doug’s music flows from that tradition--from his earliest songs about civil and human rights (“Make Those Waters Part” and “Anatoly”) to later songs celebrating freedom (“Prague Swing”) and decrying food insecurity (“Sing For Your Supper”), and finally to recent songs like “If They’d Been Black,” “Tip of the Spear,” “Reading Names (George Floyd)” and “Save Your Prayers.”

Doug will culminate his Wildman scholar/artist-in-residence weekend at Knesset Israel with a concert.
