Concert: Hard Travelin’ with Woody

The first of our Home Routes concert series, Hard Travelin’ with Woody is an award-winning multimedia solo show featuring the music and artworks of Woody Guthrie, America’s iconic folk singer, saint-of-the-workingman and poet-of-the-people. Hop a box car through the Dustbowl and commune with Woody’s spirit, stories and songs as he plays for a union meeting of striking mine workers on the verge of yielding to vigilante violence. This is a play about a concert that Woody might have performed in an Oklahoma union hall in the late 1940s.
The show has been touring far and wide since it premiered at The New York International Fringe Festival in 2011.
“Captures the spirit of Woody, solid, entertaining work that should travel far and wide in these hard times, just like Guthrie himself.” – The Huffington Post
“A constant delight.” – NYtheatre.com
“Blows the dust off Guthrie’s standards, rescuing it from mere homage, transforming it into a call for united action against greed.” – Backstage.com
