Arlo Guthrie was born with a guitar in one hand and a harmonica in the other. He is the eldest son of America's most beloved singer/writer/philosopher Woody Guthrie and dancer Marjorie Mazia Guthrie. He gave his first public performance in 1961 at age 13 and quickly became involved in the music that was shaping the world. He practically lived in the most famous venues of the "Folk Boom" era, and his career exploded in 1967 with the release of "Alice's Restaurant," whose title song helped foster a new commitment among the '60s generation to social consciousness and activism. An artist of international stature, he has never had a 'hit' in the usual sense. He has usually preferred to walk to his own beat rather than march in step to the drum of popular culture.

Over the last five decades Guthrie has toured throughout North America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia winning a wide, popular following. In addition to his accomplishments as a musician, playing the piano, six and twelve-string guitar, harmonica, and a dozen other instruments, Arlo is a natural-born storyteller, whose tales and anecdotes figure prominently in his performances.
