Arlo
Guthrie wants to tell a story and sing a few songs
Before
Arlo Guthrie was born in 1947, people could have probably told you that
he would be a creative force to be reckoned with. His father, Woody
Guthrie, was one of the most famous folksingers this country has ever
seen and his mother, Marjorie Mazia Guthrie, was a professional dancer
with the Martha Graham Company and founder of The Committee to Combat
Huntington's Disease. Growing up Arlo was surrounded by musicians and
dancers such as Pete Seeger, Leadbelly, Ramblin' Jack Elliot and Brownie
McGee, so it was no surprise that he became a folksinger and a successful
one at that. Guthrie will perform this Friday and Saturday at the Frederick
Brown Jr. Amphitheater.
