Basic Folk 52 – Dinty Child LIVE at Club Passim

Powered by RedCircle

Basic Folk is live at Club Passim in Cambridge with Americana songwriter Dinty Child. Member of Session Americana, Dinty is releasing his debut solo album after being a part of the Boston folk and roots community for about three decades. His record, Lucky Ones, will be out on January 17, with a release show January 16 at Oberon in Harvard Sq, Cambridge.  In our conversation, we talk about growing up with loving sisters, his deep connection to Three Mile Island (not THAT one) in New Hampshire, his work with Session Americana and being able to play with musicians of all sorts of ages and stages in life.

Dinty is hilarious, humble and one of the best people I know! He’s always been kind, supportive and respectful of his friends’ work. This solo album is a rare moment for him to step into the spotlight, so it’s exciting to be able to lend him the platform that he gives nearly everyone he meets. I’m so happy to get him on the podcast especially in this format. His live performance will draw you in and make you laugh and reflect. Everyone I know loves Dinty and after listening to this episode, you will, too.
