The Guthrie Family Legacy Tour, a Performance Concert with "Woody," Arlo Guthrie and his Family, Travels from the Gulf Stream Waters to the

Washington, Mass. (PRWeb) January 23, 2007 -- Arlo Guthrie tours the country on The Guthrie Family Legacy Tour celebrating four generations of Guthrie Family music along with his son Abe, his daughter's duo Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion, and multi-instrumentalist Gordon Titcomb. The Guthries will visit Woody's songs and share old stories.

The spirit of the Guthrie Family has been handed down from generation to generation. "It's in the songs, the humor, the commitment to keep making the world a little better for everyone," says Arlo. The Legacy Tour will both honor Woody's tradition and explore new ground as it weaves its way through the generations of Guthries.

There are millions of people who know the name Woody Guthrie. There may even be some who are familiar with his songs like "This Land Is Your Land," or "The Reno Blues (Philadelphia Lawyer)," or "Oklahoma Hills." Many come to discover him through his friends like Pete Seeger, or perhaps young Bob Dylan. Nora Guthrie (Woody's daughter and Arlo's sister) has introduced Woody to many young musicians, asking them to create melodies to lyrics where no music existed. Wilco and Billy Bragg, Eliza Gilkyson, The Klezmatics, Janis Ian and many more have recorded these new collaborations. Arlo wrote a haunting melody for his father's song "My Peace." The Legacy Tour will cover family favorites of Woody's originals and the new songs.

"…[Arlo is the best interpreter of his father's songs, and to hear Arlo Guthrie sing a Woody Guthrie song is to hear it wonderfully close to its original source." - Steve Leggett, All Music Guide

Arlo Guthrie, along with his son Abe, daughter number three, Sarah Lee and her husband, Johnny Irion will form the core band. They have all contributed to the family legacy by writing and performing their own material. And everyone will be singing Woody's songs that have kept the Guthrie Family the first family of American Folk Music for generations.

Do not miss this incredible opportunity to be a part of the Guthrie Family Legacy.

Here are quotes from the Legacy tour journey last fall:

"The set list is under construction, but that's typical," Arlo said. "That's the other part of the Guthrie family legacy -- a predictable irregularity. When you listen to those songs going through time and generations, it puts them in a different perspective. When a fourth generation is still singing about something important, but with their individual style, there's something magical there." - Anchorage Daily News

"There's a lot of sides to that sword, it's not just double-sided," Sarah Lee said of being a Guthrie. "In our legacy the purpose is really just taking a look at the world and singing what you see - writing what you see. I feel pretty strongly that music can change the world and I want to be a part of that." - Rolla Daily News

"After a few years touring with Arlo and playing Woody's songs I think a lot of my writing now is inspired by the way that the family writes songs and even more, live their lives," says Johnny Irion (Arlo's son-in-law) - Boston Globe

"I have three or four major traditions that I am carrying around inside me," Mr. Guthrie said, "and they are all just different views of the same reality" - the New York Times
