Hickory – Join chart-topping folksinger and songwriter Caroline Doctorow at Patrick Beaver Memorial Library on Tuesday, April 10, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. Doctorow will focus on folk music of the early 1960’s, concentrating on the work of performers such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Tom Paxton, Donovan, Richard and Mimi Fariña, Pete Seeger, and others. Doctorow will also present some of her original compositions, discuss the songwriting process, and discuss what it was like growing up with her famous father, world renowned author E.L.
