Arlo and Woody Guthrie Tribute Concert

Come celebrate legendary folk singers Arlo & Woody Guthrie on Sunday, June 1 at Cambria Center for the Arts Theatre (CCAT)! We'll cover a wide range of topical ballads and broadsides, from Woody's Dust Bowl Ballads, to Arlo's hits like City of New Orleans. 

The performers include local duo Bay Love, Central Coast fave Holly Ann Lewis, Carpinteria's The Dennis & Laura Show, SoCal songsters Kern Richards and Steve Bannon, and several Santa Cruz area musicians: Michael Gaither, Woody Bell and Lola Guthrie.

Woodrow Wilson Guthrie was an American singer-songwriter and composer who was one of the most significant figures in American folk music. "This Land is Your Land" is his best-known work, but Guthrie also wrote hundreds of country, folk, and children's songs. Arlo went on to record and perform his father's music, as well as create new originals, such as "Alice's Restaurant Massacree", a satirical talking blues song about 18 minutes in length that has since become a Thanksgiving anthem.

The concert is produced by Songwriters at Play, husband-wife team Steve Key and Bonnie Nelson-Key. Their tributes at CCAT have included the music of Aretha Franklin, Smokey Robinson, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, James Taylor, Carole King, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Joan Baez, and Bob Dylan. www.songwritersatplay.com
