The father of the
American protest song, Woody Guthrie hoped one day to have enough kids to form
a family band to travel the country and sing songs to the people. The
Re:Generation Tour realizes Woody’s dream through the inspiring work of Arlo
Guthrie and his children Sarah Lee Guthrie and Abe Guthrie. With the next
generation of Guthries hitting the road together as a family, The Re:Generation
Tour kicks off in the fall of 2017 and travels across the country through the
spring of 2018.
Woody built a legacy
of activism that the Guthrie family continues to preserve with their leading
voices in the current revolution against oppression and injustice. The
Re:Generation Tour gives voice to the common folk with their characteristic
honesty and humor through the power of community and song. Arlo and family
aspire to represent hope for working families across this great
nation.
In 1967 at the age of
19, Arlo took up the torch from his father Woody when his anti-war classic
“Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” became an international hit. He’s been on the
road ever since, with his son Abe joining his band in the ‘80s as the musical
director and keyboardist. Sarah Lee, a singer-songwriter with a lauded career
in her own right, has been releasing celebrated original music for two
decades.
