Woody Sez
T0850651097
A foot-stomping theatrical journey through the life of one of America's ballad-maker. Weaving together Guthrie's words and songs, 'Woody Sez' paints a portrait of this revered cult figure's fascinating and often tragic life. Considered by some as the Godfather of American folk music, Guthrie was a protest singer fighting for and lifting up the spirits of people beaten own by the hardships of The Great Depression. This is a story of survival, unity and olding onto your beliefs in the face of adversity. With classic Guthrie tracks including, This Land is our Land and Bound for Glory.
