Geoff Kaufman is well-known for his 35 years of singing and organizing maritime music at Mystic Seaport Museum. Geoff also maintains an active touring schedule, singing music from the “great folk scare” of the 1960s (Tom Paxton, Joan Baez, Steve Gillette), songs collected in the Catskill Mountains where he grew up, and his time as a Sloopsinger with Pete Seeger and the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater. Since his retirement in 2019, Geoff has turned greater attention to music that speaks to issues of social justice, the climate crisis, and our need to find common ground. He also shares songs that caught his ear over the years for their pure grace and beauty. Mostly, Geoff just loves to sing, whether a cappella or accompanied by guitar, concertina or bones.
Geoff has eight albums available on his website at http://www.geoffkaufman.com, seven of his music and one he produced with a cast of performers including Pete Seeger, Ronnie Gilbert, Jay Ungar & Molly Mason, and Eric Weissberg of folk songs collected at Camp Woodland in the Catskills.
