Popular folk singer coming to St. Louis
A folk singer who has been active since the 1960s is on the way to St. Louis.
Arlo Guthrie, son of legend Woodie Guthrie, was one of the performers at Woodstock, a music festival that has become a cornerstone event of the 1960s. Among the bands that appeared were The Who, and the Grateful Dead. Organizers anticipated an audience of 50,000, but about 400,000 people showed up.
In his current tour, Guthrie is bringing back the energy and drive, and the hope for positive change that ignited the crowds at Woodstock. His audiences will be able to sign along to some of their favorite Guthrie tunes such as “City of New Orleans,” Coming into Los Angeles,” and “The Motorcycle Song.” In addition to being a singer, Guthrie is also a storyteller, and leaves audiences in stitches as he talks about the “Summer of Love,” which included Woodstock, and spins anecdotes about his father.
A reviewer noted the mistake many bands who have long careers make is to concentrate on the oldies that made them famous, while the best groups:
Guthrie has done both—singing the songs his fans love, but developing new material.
Arlo Guthrie will appear March 18, at the Anheuser-Busch Performance Hall, at 7.30 pm. Brochure printing can be used to provide programs for evenings like this.

“plow forward with all they can muster, rewarding audiences with the same intensity that won them over in the first place.”
