About Jack Hardy

Jack Hardy is one of the most important forces in the history of the New York City folk scene. As the founder of a long-running weekly songwriter's workshop and publisher of FAST FOLK magazine (and its attendant compilation recordings), he has nurtured the careers of countless artists, including Suzanne Vega and John Gorka. Though his monumental influence has often eclipsed his own music, Hardy's recordings are a wholly unique and ancient-sounding blend of American folk and traditional Celtic styles. A true iconoclast, Jack Hardy has an uncompromising vision that has secured him both a faithful cult following and a prominent place in music encyclopedias.
