He's bringing his daughter and son-in-law along with him.
We already knew that the legendary Arlo Guthrie was going to be in the country early next year. He has been announced as appearing at both the Port Fairy Folk Festival and Blue Mountains Folk Festival but he's added a whole heap of headline shows to his schedule, shows that will see him playing in front of audiences all over the country.
The 65-year-old folk singer is one of the world's most renowned protest singers, taking after his father - the legendary Woody Guthrie - and rose to prominence late in the 1960s with Alice's Restaurant Massacree, an 18-minute talking blues song that proved he had the ability to tell a story through song much like his old man. The City Of New Orleans was another hit for Guthrie, its four minute duration a little friendlier to the general public and no doubt helping it get into the American Top 40. His other most popular song was Coming Into Los Angeles, it gaining huge popularity thanks to its inclusion in the Woodstock movie and soundtrack album.
Arlo will have some very special company with him on this trip, he brings his daughter and son-in-law out to support on each show with Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion opening on each and every date.
