Folk singer, musician, and composer Arlo Guthrie gave his first solo concert way back in 1961 and has been on a remarkable musical journey ever since. In 1967, he penned nothing less than a cultural touchstone, "Alice's Restaurant," his bitingly satirical protest against the Vietnam War draft, and two years later, he appeared at the seminal Woodstock music festival. Over the last four decades, Guthrie has toured the world, winning a broad and dedicated following. He has rarely performed alone since those Woodstock days, but now he hits the road solo, playing the piano, six- and twelve-string guitar, harmonica, and a dozen other instruments, with hilarious tales and anecdotes woven seamlessly into his performance. "Guthrie is philosophical in a naturally funny and folksy way and, as with great storytellers such as Will Rogers and even his own father, he always manages to pluck a gem from a lot of dirt" (Los Angeles Times).
