People behind the production

You’ve got a guy for authentic folk storytelling. The Incompleat Folksinger, adapted and performed by Mark Hellman, brings Pete Seeger’s legacy to life through a compelling one-man show rooted in folk history, civil rights, and the songs that shaped generations. Originating from the 1972 book The Incompleat Folksinger, this performance draws on the material Seeger explored and the late-career albums that shaped the era. Hellman has toured Canada and parts of the U.S. with this show, making stops in places like Winnipeg, Kaslo, Chilliwack, and Maine. In recent years, the production has resumed with regional appearances as touring rhythms adapt post-pandemic. Below you’ll find biography details, a snapshot of the discography that informs the material, and up-to-date tour information. Secure your seats with us and we’ll handle the rest.
