An Echo Park Tribute
to Woody Guthrie

Free Concert, Picnic, Street Art

July 14th, 2012

10 am - 6 pm

Los Angeles, CA 90026

Happy 100th Birthday, Woody!

Join us in a free backyard picnic celebrating the life and music of Echo Park resident Woody Guthrie. Enjoy an afternoon concert of hip-hop, blues, jazz, psychedelic and bluegrass by Woody-inspired musicians. Art activities will take place throughout the day. End the day with a second line parade led by Superbroke Brass and Tin Marching Band Ensemble.

Woody disappeared from public life 15 years before he died – he was suffering from Huntington's Disease. During that time he become something of a living legend. Folk musicians used to put a stone in their shoe to remind them of Woody's days jumping trains, hitchhiking on Route 66, sleeping in shantytowns and ditches, swaping stories with folks down on their luck during the Great Depression.

Woody wrote more than 2,000 songs in his lifetime. Like Walt Whitman, his songs capture the strength and the dignity of the American people. One hundred years after his birth, Woody's music reminds us that when we stick together and listen to one another's stories, "a better world's a-coming."

About Woody Guthrie

While living in Los Angeles Woody made trips to agricultural fields in the Central and Imperial Valley to sing for and give encouragement to farm laborers in their fight for better living and working conditions. Woody was joined on those trips at times by John Steinbeck, Will Geer and others to help publicize conditions for farm laborers. Woody understood the power of music to help people get through hard times. He sang for people of all backgrounds. The experience helped his political views matured. Corrido singers will perform work songs
