ST. LOUIS, MO - Folk legend and Sheldon favorite Arlo Guthrie brings his entire family to The Sheldon with the "Guthrie Family Rides Again" tour, Friday, March 26 at 8 p.m. for the Spring Friends of The Sheldon benefit! Proceeds from this very special evening benefit Sheldon educational programs which serve over 20,000 St. Louis area students each year.

Arlo Guthrie carries on the Guthrie Family legacy as he travels to communities far and wide sharing timeless stories and unforgettable classic tunes. "Guthrie Family Rides Again" brings his singular voice as both a singer-songwriter and storyteller to the stage alongside his beloved children and grandkids. This special evening will feature Arlo performing his classic tunes, as well as a selection of unpublished Woody Guthrie lyrics recently put to music by such acclaimed artists such as Billy Bragg, Wilco, Janis Ian, and The Klezmatics.

"Guthrie Family Rides Again" spotlights three generations of Guthries including Arlo's son Abe, who has contributed keyboards and backing vocals to his father's live shows since the 1980s. His daughters Cathy, Annie and Sarah Lee Guthrie, will sing on a number of songs and accompany on acoustic guitars, and Sarah Lee's musical partner and husband, Johnny Irion, will sing and lend his stalwart guitar playing. The youngest generation of Guthrie kids will join in the fun on selected songs.
