HONESDALE, PA — RiverFolk Concerts will present John Flynn at The Cooperage on Sunday, April 12 at 3 p.m. In an era of deep division, Flynn is a wordsmith and poet who evokes our shared humanity as he addresses the times we live in. He was recently honored for his contribution of a song included in the compilation CD, “All About Bullies, Big and Small,” which won the Grammy as Best Children’s Album of 2012.

“Every song I write always feels like my first,” Flynn says of the trade he’s practiced for more than three decades. “I guess that’s why I love it so much. It’s almost like that Buddhist concept of the beginner’s mind. Each song challenges you to seek and see new possibilities. Maybe that’s where the album title came from. After all these years, I feel like I’m just getting warmed up.”
