Join Arlo Guthrie as he returns to the Spruce Peak Arts stage, Saturday, May 27, 2023 at 7PM as part of the "What's Left of Me" tour. Guthrie, joined by Bob Santelli, former executive director of the Grammy Museum and a contributor to Rolling Stone magazine, will talk about his life as a touring artist, his memories of his famous father Woody Guthrie and his wildly entertaining tales from the road. "What's Left of Me" also includes rarely seen video footage along with an audience Q&A and snippets of his past performances.

"These engagements won't be musical events," said Guthrie. "We'll be setting this as an interview with talking, joking, telling stories...as well as answering questions from the audience. We'll have some fun, and we'll talk about serious subjects, as well". This is only one of 4 events of the "What's Left of Me" tour, and marks his return to Stowe after his last visit in October 2018.

About Arlo Guthrie

Arlo Guthrie was born on July 10, 1947, in Brooklyn, New York; the son of legendary folk artist Woody Guthrie and Marjorie Mazia Guthrie. Arlo grew up surrounded by renowned folk musicians: Pete Seeger, Leadbelly, Cisco Houston, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, and the Weavers. Since the age of 13, Arlo became absorbed in the music that was shaping the world. By the age of 20, he was touring overseas.

A natural-born storyteller and accomplished musician, Arlo attracted and surprised audiences all over the world with his unique folk style. Arlo's career soared with his debut of "The Alice's Restaurant Massacre" at the Newport Folk Festival in 1967. Later that year, he was nominated for a GRAMMY Award in the "Best Folk Performance" category for the studio version of the song on his debut album, Alice's Restaurant. The album went Gold (1969) and then Platinum (1986), and was adapted into a film by director Arthur Penn and released a few days after Arlo performed at the original Woodstock Festival in 1969.

Arlo has released 32 acclaimed albums, has appeared in notable TV shows and movies throughout the decades, and led a lauded six-decade-long touring career performing on the world's most distinguished stages. For an in-depth bio of Arlo Guthrie, please visit: gut3.me/about-3
