The current tour "Journey On" will be on the road from Oct. 2010 through
May 2011. Arlo will once again be joined by Abe Guthrie (keyboards
& Vocals), with Terry A La Berry (drums), Bobby Sweet (electric
guitar & vocals), Jody Lamppro (bass & vocals) and for their
third time on tour with Arlo, Jeanne, Annie and Marie Burns - The Burns
Sisters - will add their wonderful vocals.
Arlo Guthrie was born with a guitar in one hand and a harmonica in the other, in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York in 1947.
Arlo Guthrie's career exploded in 1967 with the release of "Alice's
Restaurant", whose title song premiered at the Newport Folk Festival
helped foster a new commitment among the '60s generation to social
consciousness and activism. Arlo went on to star in the 1969 Hollywood
film version of "Alice's Restaurant", directed by Arthur Penn.
With songs like "Alice's Restaurant", too long for radio airplay;
"Coming into Los Angeles", banned from many radio stations (but a
favorite at the 1969 Woodstock Festival); and the definitive rendition
of Steve Goodman's "City of New Orleans", Guthrie was no One-Hit-Wonder.
An artist of international stature, he has never had a 'hit' in the
usual sense. He has usually preferred to walk to his own beat rather
than march in step to the drum of popular culture.
