'A half century into her career, folk icon Joan Baez is making a return of sorts-not to vintage material, but to songs that evoke the spirit and message of her defining early work...Baez has never sounded wiser, or more deeply human.' - The Boston Globe
Singer, musician, social activist, and goodwill ambassador Joan Baez has had a profound and durable influence on American and international music for 50 years. She celebrates that anniversary with a 2008 Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album for her 24th studio album, Day After Tomorrow, and a tour stop at Columbus' Southern Theatre.
