A folk song sing-along concert tribute for the late folk artist Pete Seeger will take place on Sunday, Feb. 1, at 4 p.m. in the Edwards Recital Hall at Coastal Carolina University. Jill Trinka, CCU music faculty folk artist, will lead the performance. General admission is $5, or $4 for CCU faculty and staff and $3 for CCU students and children under 11.

The family-oriented concert is inspired by the lifework of Seeger, who died on Jan. 27, 2014. Trinka will perform songs such Seeger children favorites as "Had a Little Rooster," "The Little Black Bull," "The Hobo's Lullaby" and "Way Out There."

Seeger was a folk singer and activist who reached prominence on the radio in the 1940s, later joining The Weavers band in the 1950s, whose members were blacklisted in the McCarthy era. In the 1960s, Seeger re-emerged as a singer of protest songs. His best-known songs were "Turn, Turn Turn," "If I Had a Hammer" and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" He was one of the folksingers most responsible for popularizing the spiritual "We Shall Overcome," which became the anthem of the Civil Rights Movement.

CCU's Trinka earned a doctorate degree in music education from the University of Texas at Austin. She has written and recorded four volumes of folksongs for children: "My Little Rooster," "Bought Me a Cat," "John, the Rabbit" and "The Little Black Bull" and is the featured arranger and performer on a collaborative three-CD project -- "Had a Little Rooster," "There's A Hole in the Bucket" and "Old Joe Clark."

The Edwards Recital Hall is located in Room 152 in the Thomas W. and Robin W. Edwards College of Humanities and Fine Arts building at 133 Chanticleer Drive W. in Conway.
