Folk Legend Arlo Guthrie

Saturday, May 17

Arlo Guthrie’s career exploded in 1967 with the release of Alice’s Restaurant, whose title song premiered at the Newport Folk Festival. Arlo went on to star in the 1969 Hollywood film version of Alice’s Restaurant, directed by Arthur Penn.

With songs like Alice’s Restaurant, too long for radio airplay; Coming into Los Angeles, banned from many radio stations (but a favorite at the 1969 Woodstock Festival); and the definitive rendition
of Steve Goodman’s City of New Orleans, Guthrie was no One-Hit-Wonder. An artist of international stature, he has never had a hit in the usual sense.

Like his father Woody, Arlo Guthrie has become a national treasure. His music and wit speak to the hearts and minds of people all over this country. Don’t miss this rare opportunity!
