Woody Gutherie Centennial Celebration

Posted on September 3, 2012 in General News

This summer marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of the legendary folk singer, Woody Guthrie. There will be a celebration of his life and times at Shuswap Theatre in Salmon Arm on September 29th. & 30th. The show will consist of stories about Woody, lots of photographs and local musicians performing 20 of the over 2000 songs he wrote.

Profits from the concert will go to support the people that Woody sang and played for, “the down-on-their-luck folks” who get help through local food banks.
