For almost 30 years the folksinger Odetta has been performing for people all over the world, but she seems to have a special rapport with Eau Claire audiences. Since first appearing here in 1974, she has played nine times at The Joynt. Next weekend she will return for her fifth engagement at the Water Street tavern.
