Sponsoring 2010 Summer Concert Series Arlo Guthrie Journey On Tour
Friday, Oct. 29
Long fascinated by the myth of Orpheus who with song could coax wild beasts and entice trees to dance, folk legend Guthrie embarks on his own odyssey. As a masterful storyteller, humorous philosopher, and uncompromising artist, Guthrie proves that folk music is alive and well. Having previously accompanied Arlo on a hugely successful tour, Journey On reunites Arlo with The Burns Sisters whose Siren song brings evocative, exquisite support to Guthrie’s seasoned and celebrated performances. A full band will also be joining Arlo on this voyage, allowing him make his new songs and best-loved classics come to life.
Journey On will commence in October and travel extensively through Spring 2011. It promises to cast a spell, charming the audience with an evening of hypnotic song. Inspired by myth, rooted in tradition, and always an adventure, Arlo Guthrie’s North American Journey On tour will feature new songs and old folklore to inspire generations. This is a trip any fan, old or new, must take.
