A Tribute to Woody Guthrie

Avg. Event Rating (5.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

Woody Guthrie's music crosses all barriers and tramples on the darkness and sadness of the Dust Bowl. He championed various causes and wrote many children's songs. His music and spirit have penetrated the American cultural landscape and needs to be sung and shared. Having lived through some of the most significant historic movements and events of the Twentieth-Century - the Great Depression, the Great Dust Storm, World War II, the social and the political upheavals resulting from Unionism, the Communist Party and the Cold War - Woody absorbed it all to become a prolific writer whose songs, ballads, prose and poetry captured the plight of everyman. While traveling throughout the American landscape during the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, Woody's observations of what he saw and experienced has left for us a lasting and sometimes haunting legacy of images, sounds, and voices of the marginalized, disenfranchised, and oppressed people with whom he struggled to survive despite all odds. Although the corpus of original Woody Guthrie songs, or as Woody preferred 'people's songs' are, perhaps, his most recognized contribution to American culture, the stinging honesty, humor, and wit found even in his most vernacular prose writings exhibit Woody's fervent belief in social, political, and spiritual justice. Song and story will be presented by Fred Buck, Larry Hill and Rich Davich. Thirty songs or fifty years, whichever comes first, on guitar, harmonica and banjo. 100% of the $5.00 suggested donation will go to support local homeless organizations.
