BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
The son of renowned folk singer Woody Guthrie, Arlo was raised to spread a message of social consciousness through his music. Growing up in Brooklyn, the younger Guthrie became deeply involved in Greenwich Villageís early ë60s folk scene, befriending luminaries such as Bob Dylan and Rambliní Jack Elliot. Just two years out of high school he released 1967's ìAliceís Restaurant Massacreî, a humorous talking blues track that satirized the Vietnam Draft. The songís popularity lead to an appearance during the first day of Woodstock í69, forever linking him to the countercultural movements that the festival espoused. Though heíll always be remembered for lending his voice to humanitarian causes, he also enjoyed a respectable comedic acting career well into the ë90s. These days, Arlo Guthrie still tours frequently so that friends far and wide can enjoy his riveting protest tunes and sidesplitting stories about the good old days.
I came to know Arlo from my dad who is a long-time fan of Arlo's! I am now even more of a fan and would totally see him again, anywhere. Whether it's just him and his guitar or him and his band! What a great show!!!
What a great concert! I would see him again and again.
Lots of wonderful music, stories...oh the stories were great! Learned that Arlo and Hoyt Axton are cousins!
This was the first time seeing Arlo Guthrie live, and it exceeded expectations. He's sharp, funny, and a true American original with excellent musicianship. The Ark is a great place to see this type of performance.
The concert was great. If you love folk music, you already love Arlo. Very intimate setting, most attendees were considerate, traditional songs with stories included. Great Time!!
Arlo was artastic! I had the worst seat in the house & I had to first buy a membership to the venue in order to buy a beer, but nonetheless arlo rocked my socks. He's keeping old folk tunes alive & invites everyone to sing along like we're old friends around a campfire. He's the best storyteller around & you can't help but catch his good vibes. I think everyone should experience arlo!
