This marks the new date of their previously postponed March 4 performance. The acclaimed Off-Broadway musical explores the history of folk music and the story of an ever-changing America. Period costumes, multimedia projections,and orchestrations by The Kingston Trio’s George Grove portray Woody Guthrie and the 1930’s Dust Bowl, Pete Seeger in the 1960’s Civil Rights Movement, Bob Dylan at the Newport Festival and The Byrds on L.A. sound stages for a performance the New York Times calls, “illuminating…revelatory…achingly beautiful.” They’ll play music from other great folk artists, including; Gordon Lightfoot, Lead Belly, Donovan, Cat Stevens, James Taylor, Van Morrison and Leonard Cohen. PLUS, special guest Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary will join the inspiring evening of great music. Says Peter of the show, “We travel in the footsteps of those who’ve come before. Paul, Mary and I owed a great debt to the pioneers of folk who came before us. It’s a joy for me to see a new generation carrying forward the traditions of folk music.” Lonesome Traveler presents a revealing perspective of the roots forever embedded in our culture, bringing together audiences of all ages.
