From: Photo Flash: Rubicon Theatre Company's LONESOME TRAVELER

Rubicon Theatre Company continues its 2010-2011 Season with the World Premiere of Lonesome Traveler, a musical event that takes audiences on a journey down the rivers and streams of American Folk Music -- from the hills of Appalachia to the nightclubs of San Francisco and New York; from the 1920s to the 1960s. Conceived and directed by Rubicon?s Artistic Director James O?Neil, with Musical Direction and Arrangements by Dan Wheetman, Lonesome Traveler begins April 13 and continues through May 15 at Rubicon Theatre in Ventura?s Downtown Cultural District. Presented in concert-style, Lonesome Traveler is performed by nine artists who create musical portraits inspired by folk immortals such as Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, The Carter Family, Leadbelly, Cisco Houston, The Almanac Singers, The Weavers, Peter Paul & Mary and others whose music and influence changed American music - and America itself-forever.
