Soka Performing Arts Center Presents Arlo Guthrie 20/20 Tour: Featuring “Alice’s Restaurant”
(Aliso Viejo, CA, February 11, 2020) – Soka Performing Arts Center welcomes Arlo Guthrie 20/20 Tour: Featuring “Alice’s Restaurant” on Saturday, April 18, 2020 at 8pm. Guthrie will be joined by special guest Folk Uke. If hindsight is 20/20 vision, Arlo Guthrie has a vast perspective looking forward. After decades of Arlo perpetually touring, the folksinger is dialing it back a bit, but the road has become a way of life for Arlo: sharing songs and stories, getting to the heart of what really matters, and of course, being a comedic agitator. It’s in his blood. It’s who he is. It’s what he does. Stirring the pot, questioning the powers that be, and reminding us what it’s all about with humor and passion.
Initially making a name for himself in the sixties with the iconic “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” and providing perhaps the most often repeated phrase from Woodstock (“The New York State Thruway is closed, man.”), Guthrie helped define the singer-songwriter genre burgeoning in the seventies.
With over thirty albums in his discography, an Arlo Guthrie show delivers an astounding time capsule
from the works of his dad, Woody Guthrie, to the present day. Arlo’s 20/20 Tour will continue to feature the crowd favorite “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree.” Accompanying him will be longtime bandmates Abe Guthrie and drummer Terry “A La Berry” Hall. Joining Arlo Guthrie throughout the show will be special guest Folk Uke, the enchantingly harmonizing, irreverent and indecorously humored duo of Cathy Guthrie and Amy Nelson. Folk Uke has three albums to date and their music has been featured in Orange Is The New Black and Super Troopers 2. An evening with Arlo Guthrie will be what it’s always been — inspirational, uplifting, intimate, humorous, and affecting.
Tickets are $45-80 and are now available online at performingarts.soka.edu at the Box Office at 1 University Drive in Aliso Viejo or by calling (949) 480-4ART (4287).
