Phil Teumim, "contemporary folk" and Old Songs

Phil Teumim of Delmar creates art from recycled objects and music by drawing on past traditions and on personal experiences. He describes it as “contemporary folk” or “acoustic Americana” in this week’s podcast. “The songs are the keepers of the stories of the day. They are the compass rose that help us find our way,” say the lyrics to “Old Songs,” which Teumim wrote to benefit the local group that holds concerts, dances, and festivals to keep traditional music alive. Teumim is president of Old Songs Inc. and worked with other musicians to build the organization a home in Voorheesville in what was once a church and later a library. — Photo from www.philibuck.com
