XPN Welcomes Songs for Any Depression
Presented by First Person Arts at Painted Bride Art Center
November 4, 2009
The songs of Woody Guthrie became the soundtrack for one of the most tumultuous periods in American history — times that were never more relevant than they are right now. Guthrie’s granddaughter Sarah Lee Guthrie and her husband Johnny Irion, along with the storytelling folk duo Kim and Reggie Harris, present a concert of songs that inspired and empowered common folk through the hardest of times. An introduction by historian Julia Foulkes and author/scholar Morris Dickstein (Dancing in the Dark: A Cultural History of the Great Depression) and a multimedia presentation bring to life the rich documentary culture that came of age during the 1930s. Hosted by Gene Shay.
