| John Flynn with Joe Jencks |

Songwriter and activist John Flynn calls himself a "hopeful pessimist". The pessimism comes from a heartbreaking, clear-eyed honesty in assessing the condition of the world we live in. The hope comes from a deep-rooted faith in the beauty and resilience of the human spirit. In an artist of Flynn’s caliber, the tension inherent in these seemingly contradictory points of view yields the kind of songs that moved Kris Kristofferson to compare Flynn to the best writers he knows.
Flynn was so well received by the Six String Concerts audience when he opened for Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion in 2004, that we jumped at the chance to have him return as a headliner.
"John Flynn is the John Lennon of the plasma generation!" -- Ramblin’ Jack Elliott
"Flynn might well be one of the greatest hidden treasures the American axis has to discover and offer." -- Chris Spector of Midwest Record Recap
