Summer 2018

We’ve finished with the originally scheduled shows of our “Re:Generation Tour. The final two gigs were at The Church (The Guthrie Center) in Housatonic, MA. Both nights were absolutely wonderful, and we were thrilled to be playing nearby our homes - No hotel nights as usual.

However, we’ve added a number of “Re:Generation” shows to the schedule that will take us through July. Many of these added shows are gigs I’ve done before, but usually solo. They begin again in Alaska and a few are in the Northwest. Then we’ll continue the tour in the Northeast for some venues that only usually operate during the summer.

Our next regularly scheduled tour will begin late September or early October. It’s being called “The Arlo Guthrie - Alice’s Restaurant - Back By Popular Demand Tour.” That’s about the longest name for a tour we’ve ever had. Essentially we’re creating a new and different show than we did for there 50th anniversary that took place from January 2015 through May 2016. We were celebrating the 50th anniversary of the events that took place 50 years earlier during the Fall of 1965.

This time, we’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of the movie “Alice’s Restaurant,” which was released in 1969. We’re also including references to the other major event of my life in 1969 - Woodstock. But, it’s not all backward looking.

Just as the Greatest Generation - Those who lived through WWII - Has all but faded from the scene, The 60’s Generation is beginning to make it’s exit. Naturally, I’m in there somewhere. And despite all the news (if you want to call it that), I’m reasonably assured that the spirit of working together to make a better world for everyone will continue undiminished. It may even out-shine the great light of hope previous generations have been drawn to.

Friends... I've been informed that Cheryl Harrell has left this world. She was such an ardent supporter and devoted friend for decades. She will be greatly missed as a member of our community. I don't have many details, but I wanted to inform everyone here on arlonet of her passing. I'm sure we'll get more information shortly. I guess most of us are getting to the point where this kind of news isn't really new. Still with each passing friend the world gets a little smaller. There'll be more to say, but for now that's what I've heard.

Now we begin the Re:Generation Tour again, picking up from where we left off last year. We've finished a couple of nights in Key West - essentially a tune-up so we'd know what we were doing. It was a fabulous time in a nice small venue. From here on out it's back to the larger halls (for the most part). We'll be working our way up from Florida, through the Carolinas into Virginia. Then Heading to the mid-west and all the way to the left coast as far north as Sacramento, CA, before coming back to the east side and ending the tour at The Church for our semi-annual fund-raiser there in May. We're already working on gigs in the northwest as well (the ones we will have missed this time). Maybe even something over seas... We'll see what happens.

Many new dates are posted here and on our homepage (www.arloguthrie.com). We're getting the word out for anyone interested, that we're coming and going as always. Looking forward to seeing many of you wherever and whenever.

April 17, 2017 - Arcata, CA - Humbolt University

We've been on the road for a while now, and we're about half-way thru this final leg of the "Running Down The Road" tour. As we've been moving across the country our crew back home has quietly been working hard to release our new web-site. For the moment there's actually two sites running - risingsonrecords.com and arloguthrie.com. Three is you include arlo.net. - arloguthrie.com will bring you to the new site, whereas formally it simply linked to the RSR site. The good news is that arlo.net is continuing to run just fine on the new site under "Archives." At some point we will have RSR link to the newer site, but for the moment they exist equally in time and space, sharing some things in common. Hope everyone is as excited as I am about all this stuff...

For anyone visiting this site, Note that the concert schedule which used to be updated here on arlonet is now being updated at Rising Son Records (www.arloguthrie.com). So, although the schedule appears to be nonexistent on arlonet, it can be found, with links to venues etc., on our other web site. The calendar (schedule) at RSR is not yet as extensive and informative as it has been here, but we're hopefully getting there. Thanks... adg
