Show Notes
Folk songwriter Bob Franke, who passed away in 2021, is being honored with a tribute concert in April. Known for his deep, heartfelt songs like For Real and Hard Love, Franke moved to Cambridge in 1969 and later settled on the North Shore, performing regularly at Club Passim. His peers, including Reggie Harris and Lui Collins, praised his dry wit, universal themes, and influence on artists like Alison Krauss and Peter, Paul and Mary. Franke also ran workshops, a venue in Marblehead, and church music programs. The tribute concert, featuring Harris, Collins, and John McCutcheon, showcases his enduring impact on the folk community.
