Attending an Arlo Guthrie concert is about more than just listening to somebody sing. It's about keeping American folk culture alive. It is like sitting on your grandfather's front porch and listening to him weave stories of the past and at the same time giving you some hard-learned wisdom and food for thought.
It takes a special kind of entertainer to be able to perform a 60-year-old song and make the audience feel as if it is being sung for the first time. Not only does it require a deep love for your art, but also the ability to involve your audience as more than observers.
The eldest son of the legendary Woody Guthrie, Arlo is one of the few singers from the '60s folk scene who remains one of its greatest champions and dedicated ambassadors. For Guthrie, his music is a family tradition that he is passing on to the next generation.
For more than four decades, the veteran singer/composer has toured the world, gathering a wide following for his distinctive style of singing and storytelling.
He has woven himself forever into the fabric of American culture.
