Details

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. Woody Sez celebrates the spirit of American folk legend Woody Guthrie, whose music continues to inspire today's finest storytelling songwriters including Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, the Indigo Girls and Billy Bragg. Charismatic Broadway veteran David Lutken, as Woody, is joined by three folk musicians, bringing Guthrie's music to life with twin fiddles, guitars, bass, harmonica, banjo, mandolin, dulcimer, dobro and beautiful folk harmonies. Winner of the 2008 Argus Angel Award.
