Mr. Small has appeared with such top acts as Arlo Guthrie, Bonnie Raitt, Pete Seeger and Tom Paxton.

His songs have been covered by many top folk artists -- in fact, Pete Seeger described him as "one of America's best songwriters''.

The Folk Club is expected to be full for the performance which is in the tradition of Woodie Guthrie, Phil Ochs and Tom Paxton. He appeared at the Woodie Guthrie Tribute in Tulsa recently.

A club spokesperson said: "Powerful and affecting, Fred's songs illuminate the goodness and courage of all kinds of people. The music gets you thinking, laughing, crying, singing along -- sometimes all at once.''
