Theme: Alice’s Restaurant and Other Songs I’ve Heard Arlo Guthrie Sing.

Mike Regenstreif & Arlo Guthrie (1996)

Arlo Guthrie – who is now 79 years old – is the son of legendary folksinger and songwriter Woody Guthrie and Marjorie Mazia Guthrie, who was a Martha Graham dancer. His career as a recording artist began in 1967 with the release of the original recorded version of Alice’s Restaurant. That led to a long career as a concert artist and to his starring in a feature film version of Alice’s Restaurant. I first met Arlo in the 1970s when his Montreal concerts – often in tandem with Pete Seeger – were presented by my friend and mentor Sam Gesser. When Arlo returned to Montreal in 1996, I produced the concert. Arlo announced his retirement from touring in 2020 but still keeps in touch with friends and fans online.
