Joan Baez

Joan Baez’s career began in the late 1950s at the famed Club 47 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She performed at the first Newport Folk Festival in 1959. She released her first LP, Joan Baez, for Vanguard Records in 1960.Baez’s most recent album, Day After Tomorrow, carries on Joan’s tradition of serving as a lightning rod for a wide array of songwriters, with material by Steve Earle, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello and others, and was nominated for a Grammy. She’s released 24 albums in her career.

Baez marched on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement with Martin Luther King, Jr., inspired Vaclav Havel to fight for a Czech Republic, and participated in two of the early Amnesty International tours – the Conspiracy of Hope tour in 1986 and the Human Rights Now! tour in 1988. She brought the Free Speech Movement into the spotlight at Berkeley, took to the fields with Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers, organized resistance to the war in Southeast Asia, then forty years later saluted the Dixie Chicks for their courage to protest war. Joan Baez is a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner and recipient of Amnesty International’s prestigious Ambassador of Conscience award.
