Happy Traum Concert History

Happy Traum (born Harry Peter Traum in The Bronx, New York City, on 9 May 1938; died 17 July 2024) was an American folk musician remembered for being a stalwart of the Greenwich Village music scene of the 1960s and the Woodstock music scene of the 1970s and 1980s. For several years, he studied blues guitar with Brownie McGhee, who was a big influence on his guitar style. He was known as one half of Happy & Artie Traum, a duo he began with his brother.
