Arlo Guthrie

Legendary folk music icon Arlo Guthrie is coming to the King Center to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the event that inspired the seminal song, "Alice's Restaurant Massacree". Guthrie will perform his most prominent work in its entirety, as well as selections from every full-length studio album he's released since his debut, Alice's Restaurant in 1967. For the last five decades, Arlo has carried on the Guthrie family legacy of sharing timeless stories and unforgettable classics to audiences far and wide. "The Alice's Restaurant 50th Anniversary Tour" brings together an ensemble of fine musicians never to grace the stage together at one time. Arlo's deft band includes Terry Hall (drums), Bobby Sweet (guitar, vocals), Darren Todd (guitar), and his son, Abe Guthrie (keyboards). Each show is also curated with a special multi-media presentation featuring previously unseen images from the Guthrie archives. More than 75,000 photos have recently been digitized, and selections will be projected along with Peter Star's claymation film depicting Arlo's "Motorcycle Song". Don't miss Arlo Guthrie when he comes to Melbourne performing one of America's greatest musical treasures!
