Ad text

$10 Admission for all at the door FSSGB is pleased to present “Bound for Glory”, our Woody Guthrie Tribute show. The show features many FSSGB members and friends, many of whom have performed in past Woody shows going way back to the 60’s. “Bound for Glory” is a performance of songs and stories about the life of Woodrow Wilson (“Woody”) Guthrie, considered by many to be the founder of modern American folk music. Many wonderful songs written by Woody and performed by members of FSSGB are interspersed with short recitations from his autobiography. It is a funny, cynical, earthy and tragic account of his life in an Oklahoma oil-boom town, of the Depression that followed, and of his subsequent travels in, on, and under trains, in stolen cars and on his feet, round an America going rotten from the top downwards. Chorus sheets are made available and the audience is encouraged to sing along. Refreshments will be served at intermission.
