To Help with Don Conoscenti’s medical expenses  Don is a member of the Oklahoma
Woody Guthrie community, a longtime performer at Woodyfest and at the Blue Door. 
He embodies the spirit of Woody as much as anyone so this is our time to help our
brother in need.   www.donconoscenti.com  
 
The spirit of the Guthrie Family has been handed down from generation to generation.
“It’s in the songs, the humor, the commitment to keep making the world a little
better for everyone,” says Arlo. The Legacy Tour will both honor Woody’s tradition
and explore new ground as it weaves its way through the generations of Guthries.
 
Arlo Guthrie tours the country on The Guthrie Family Legacy Tour celebrating four
generations of Guthrie Family music along with his son Abe, his daughter’s duo Sarah
Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion, and multi-instrumentalist Gordon Titcomb. The Guthries
will visit Woody’s songs and share old stories. The spirit of the Guthrie Family has
been handed down from generation to generation. “It’s in the songs, the humor, the
commitment to keep making the world a little better for everyone,” says Arlo. The
Legacy Tour will both honor Woody’s tradition and explore new ground as it weaves
its way through the generations of Guthries.
 
There are millions of people who know the name Woody Guthrie. There may even be some
who are familiar with his songs like “This Land Is Your Land,” or “The Reno Blues
(Philadelphia Lawyer),” or “Oklahoma Hills.” Many come to discover him through his
friends like Pete Seeger, or perhaps young Bob Dylan. Nora Guthrie (Woody’s daughter
and Arlo’s sister) has introduced Woody to many young musicians, asking them to
create melodies to lyrics where no music existed. Wilco and Billy Bragg, Eliza
Gilkyson, The Klezmatics, Janis Ian and many more have recorded these new
collaborations. Arlo wrote a haunting melody for his father’s song “My Peace.” The
Legacy Tour will cover family favorites of Woody’s originals and the new songs.
“…[Arlo is the best interpreter of his father’s songs, and to hear Arlo Guthrie
sing a Woody Guthrie song is to hear it wonderfully close to its original source.” -
Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
Arlo Guthrie, along with his son Abe, daughter number three, Sarah Lee and her
husband, Johnny Irion will form the core band. They have all contributed to the
family legacy by writing and performing their own material. And everyone will be
singing Woody’s songs that have kept the Guthrie Family the first family of American
Folk Music for generations.
Do not miss this incredible opportunity to be a part of the Guthrie Family Legacy.

Dear Friends In Music

Sorry that we had to postpone the Jimmy Webb shows last weekend.  Jimmy simply could
not get out of New York with the huge storm there.  Thankfully we re scheduled for
March 26-27, exactly one month from the initial date.   While we are sold out for
guaranteed seating, we should be able to get in about 15 more folks for each show.
Come out the weather is gonna be good I promise!

This week  we are proud to present

The Burns Sisters

Thursday  March 4th

I am very proud to have the Burns Sisters back to the Blue Door.  They are among
the best who have ever played here and more than anyone combine folk and country
with a little soul and blues stirred in for good measure.  Essential listening for
fans of great songs and great singing.

$20  doors at 7  show at 8 pm

Lucy Kaplansky & Will Kimbrough
Friday  March 5th
Lucy Kaplansky has been one of the bright lights in American folk music for over
a decade.  Her albums are always full of smart songs that lie somewhere between
folk, pop and americana.  This time Will Kimbrough will open the show and that
in itself is enough to tell your friends about.  Will plays guitar for Rodney Crowell
as well, but he is at his best on stage singing his great roots oriented songs.
From his days in rock and roll with Will & the Bushmen to his time playing the
listening
rooms all over the country, WIll Kimbrough is the real deal.  This is gonna be one
great show folks!!!

Jimmy LaFave Band & John Fullbright
Saturday  March 6th

This show is sold out for guaranteed seating but come on out anyway and we will
get you in somehow!!  Jimmy is the greatest soul voice in American music in the
last twenty years and his timeless songs as well as his great Bob Dylan covers have
made him a crowd favorite from coast to coast.  He is back home for this show and
Jimmy sounds better at the Blue Door than he does anywhere else.  Opening is the
always charming John Fullbright who never ceases to amaze me with his songwriting
giflts and great interpertations of classic songs. John has a studio record coming
out on Jimmy’s Music Road records later this year.

JIMMY WEBB

FRI MAR  26

SAT MAR 27

with special guest

JOHN FULLBRIGHT

An evening with Jimmy Webb is like no other show at the Blue Door.  His timeless
songs and his wonderful stage presence make for a classic combination.  Many have
said they would pay for the stories alone, but thankfully Jimmy is also gonna sing
many of his classics and more obscure gems.  Recently Jimmy recorded a new album,
“Just Across The River” which features guests such as Billy Joel, WIllie Nelson,
Linda Ronstadt, Vince Gill, Mark Knoffler, Michael McDonald, JD Souther and Lucinda
Williams.  Now that is some support.  Jimmy told me it’s his best work ever and
the record should be out sometime in 2010.   Joining Jimmy will be Oklahoma’s next
great songwriter John Fullbright playing songs from his “Live At The Blue Door”
record.

$40 at the door
