This Land is Your Land: Woody Guthrie’s 100th Birthday Celebration 

When: Sat., July 14, 5 p.m. 2012
Price: $12 advance/$15 door
Anybody living in America has heard at least the first verse of a Woody Guthrie tune and anyone with a learned ear in folk knows the influence Guthrie had on the genre. In celebration of a man who wrote hundreds of songs, including "This Land is Your Land" (which is actually political criticism), WMNF stages one of its customary tribute shows marking his 100th birthday and the legacy he left for modern folk, country, and Americana artists. Sadly, Guthrie won’t be making an appearance (he died in 1967), but more than 20 local bands honor his memory with performances of select numbers from his extensive repertoire.
