Havens singing "Freedom" at Cannes...
On Wednesday, May 14th, Richie Havens will perform his song "Freedom" at the opening ceremonies of the prestigious 61st annual Cannes International Film Festival in Cannes, France. This performance takes place on the heels of Richie's successful February 2008 European release of his 27th album Nobody Left to Crown.
Recorded in 2007 at Sear Sound Recording in NYC, Nobody Left to Crown was released on Polydor Records. The U.S. release date and label imprint will be announced soon. Special guests on the album include Derek Trucks and Harry Manx.
Richie Havens first emerged from New York City's Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 60's, and in 1969, inspired and electrified an audience of over half a million with his legendary three hour opening performance at Woodstock. A truly timeless performer, and a man before his time, Richie Havens is on tour this summer. Dates are below.
