Folk Icon Arlo Guthrie to Perform at Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza This April

Everybody's favorite folk singer, Arlo Guthrie will perform at the Fred Kavli Theatre, Sunday, April 9, 2017 at 7:00 pm.

Guthrie is a legendary artist who shares timeless stories and unforgettable classic songs as he carries on the Guthrie family legacy. With his singular voice as both a singer-songwriter and social commentator, he has maintained a dedicated fan base that spans the globe. On the heels of the sold-out Alice's Restaurant 50th Anniversary Tour, Guthrie plunges into another musical trip certain to be a flashback inducing, mind-expanding show. For the Running Down the Road Tour, Guthrie will again hit the road with his band to fully embody the best of Guthrie's catalog from the late sixties and early seventies. Featuring the most outstanding cuts from Arlo (1968), Running Down the Road (1969), and Washington County (1970), along with many others, this tour exemplifies the sound that shaped a generation. Guthrie's upcoming tour promises to take the audience back to the most remarkable, far-out era.

Guthrie's first public performance was at age 13. He began touring with his father's friend, Pete Seeger, in the late 1960s. The two continued to perform together for the next 40 years, last performing at Carnegie Hall in New York in November 2012. Guthrie is best known for "Alice's Restaurant," released in 1967, and starred in the 1969 film named for the song.

He launched his own record company, Rising Son, in 1983, and the label houses his complete catalog as well as albums by Woody Guthrie, other family members and several other artists. Guthrie released Someday in 1986, Times Like These in 2007 and Tales of '69 in 2009 in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Woodstock.
