LIVE MUSIC: Lenny Solomon

Singer/songwriter Lenny Solomon’s style has been compared to early Bob Dylan, Guy Clark, and Jerry Jeff Walker. Solomon began his career in the late 1960s. A fixture at the now defunct Idler Coffeehouse in Harvard Square, Cambridge, he regularly performed there on Friday nights for over eight years. The Idler was a training ground for songwriters such as Geoff Bartley, Paul Rishell, Spider John Koerner, Bob McCarthy, and Ric Ocasek. During these years as a solo performer he shared bills with many touring performers including Chris Smither, Carolyn Hester, Bonnie Raitt, and Spider John

From the 1980s through the mid-1990s, Solomon continued to write songs, but rarely performed in public choosing to raise his family and work in environmental research at Harvard University. From 1978 though 2009 he managed a research program that investigated ozone depletion in the stratosphere and other matters having to do climate change. Since re-entering the performance arena, he has released four albums of original material that combine elements of folk, country, and blues, and in the process has won a dozen songwriting awards
