Sharing four generations of Guthrie Family music, along with his son Abe and his daughter’s duo Sara Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion, the Guthries will sing Woody’s songs and share stories beginning at 7:30 pm at Macey Center.
The Tour begins its New Mexico leg right here in Socorro, with later stops in Taos, Santa Fe and Durango, Colo.; and ends in North Carolina May 13.
The fact that Arlo includes Socorro in his tours is a credit to NM Tech’s Performing Arts Series, its director Ronna Kalish and all those who make PAS such an asset to the community.
That he keeps coming back to Socorro is a delight to his many fans in this region. Tickets are going fast so be sure to reserve yours by calling (505)835-5688.
It’s sure to be a fantastic evening, a great ending to the 2006-2007 PAS season. Already Ronna is finalizing next year’s performances and we’re sure PAS will offer us lots of good music and performing art. But it’s hard to imagine that she’ll do better than with this concert, May 1.
Arlo (“Alice’s Restaurant”) Guthrie is a legend in folk music, growing up the son of Woody Guthrie and surrounded by musicians such as Pete Seeger, Leadbelly and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. 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 gen-eration 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 sta-tions (but a favorite at the 1969 Woodstock Festival); and the defini-tive 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.
Arlo is a natural-born storyteller, whose tales and anecdotes figure promi-nently in his performances.
In April...
On April 21, NMTech’s PAS brings Niyaz to the stage. The trio joined forces to create what they call world music for the 21st century. Hypnotic, ecstatic and eminently danceable, their music represents the best of both traditional world music and electronic music. Azam Ali’s voice has been called “ethereal and beguiling …evoking centuries of women’s voices from medieval Europe.” Loga Ramin Torkian, is deeply involved with the music of his homeland, Iran, playing guitar, Turkish sax and electric guitarviol, and Persian lute. Carmen Rizzo is a two-time Grammy Award nominee.
On Thursday, April 26, the Santa Fe Opera Apprentice program will present a free concert. The concert will feature excerpts from favorite operas and musicals. This is always great program both for the audience and the appren-tices.
