Guthrie Family Thanksgiving shows ++ updated tour dates

by Andrew Frisicano

Guthrie Family…

Okay, so 40 years ago, August we were at Woodstock. Then that September, Jackie and I bought the farm (as it were), and we’re still here. Later, that October we got married on the farm, still married too. Then later in November, Alice’s Restaurant (the movie) was released! There hasn’t been a four month stretch like that since then! So we’re celebrating a lot of 40th things this year. –Arlo Guthrie opines on his 40ths

As previously mentioned, Arlo Guthrie will host his annual Thanksgiving show at Carnegie Hall on Saturday, November 28th. Dubbed “The Guthrie Family Rides Again,” the show will feature three generations of Guthries including “Arlo, son Abe, daughters Cathy, Annie and Sarah Lee, son-in-law Johnny Irion, grandson Krishna, and assorted other children, grandchildren and guest artists.” Tickets for are still on sale. The show also comes to Newark, NJ’s NJPAC on Sunday, November 29th. Tickets to that are on sale too.

Come 2010, Arlo & family have expanded upon their already planned US tour dates to stretch through July. The first date of that tour is a February 20th show at the McCarter Theater in Princeton, NJ. Tickets are on sale. The next night (2/21) is on Long Island at The Patchogue Theater (with tickets available too).
