Extra tickets released for Woody Guthrie: The Long Road to Peekskill at the Music Room in March

Due to popular demand (i.e. it sold out!) an extra 40 tickets have been released for Woody Guthrie: The Long Road to Peekskill at the Music Room on Saturday 10th March 2018.

The Long Road to Peekskill sees Professor Will Kaufman present the story of Woody Guthrie’s personal transformation from a youthful Oklahoma racist to the ardent anti-racist champion who, along with many others, risked his life holding the line against American fascism during the notorious Peekskill riots of 1949.

Conventionally known for his championing of the poor white Dust Bowl migrants, Guthrie also left an extensive body of songs condemning Jim Crow segregation, lynching and race hatred. Most of these songs were never recorded, but they are the legacy of this remarkable journey that eventually brought Guthrie into the fellowship of Lead Belly, Josh White, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee and Paul Robeson.

Told using images, stories and songs, The Long Road to Peekskill is both a harrowing and uplifting presentation, showing through the example of Woody Guthrie that racists are not born, but made – and that they can be unmade.

Will Kaufman’s previous show at the Music Room sold out, so if you haven’t got your tickets for this one then there’s no time to lose!
