Jim Post as
Mark Twain

A folk singer/songwriter invokes the humanity of Mark Twain through song

"The show is worth it for the music alone!" Roy Leonard NBC   "Post focuses on Twain's younger days and he can cut-up like the kid he ardently invokes in this perfect show." ChicagoTribune
"His songs and monologues, whether serious or witty, fell as natural o the ears as everyday conversation.  Rousing...and ideal family show."  Chicago Sun Times

Contact Nancy Emrich of LilFest to present Jim Post as Mark Twain or Jim Post’s Folk Show, including songs from his folk-rock career spanning 60 years!

The music from Mark Twain and the Laughing River won the American Library Award for 1997. Jim's music has been described as the music Stephen Foster might have written had he been a playwright. Jim's clear, soaring tenor voice is captivating, from opening song, "Might Big River," which is nothing less than an American anthem, through the lovely images of "Hannibal," to the precocious narrative of, "Naked Little Boy."
