Episode Synopsis

Ron Olesko talks with Michael Gabriele, the author of "New Jersey Folk Revival Music: History and Tradition"(History Press), a new book that provides a narrative on the evolution, history and traditions of the folk revival in New Jersey - from the colonial days of bawdy tavern revelers and fiddle players; to the folklore and culture of the Pine Barrens; NJ's role in the early days of recording artists like the Carter Family, Woody Guthrie, Paul Robeson and others; the heady days of the 1950s and 60s folk revival; to the continuing traditions and artists that make the Garden States folk community so special.
