  • Woody Guthrie Center to host ‘This Land Is Your Land: A Celebration of 80 Years’ at New York City’s Town Hall

    Eight decades ago, Woody Guthrie wrote the iconic folk song “This Land Is Your Land.” The Woody Guthrie Center is commemorating the occasion by hosting an event at NYC’s Town Hall. The location is significant because it’s just around the corner from where Guthrie wrote the song on February 23, 1940. The show will be held February 23, with doors opening at 7:30. Tickets are on sale now.

    “For 80 years, ‘This Land is Your Land’ has been for many of us an alternate national anthem. Woody’s lyrics are timeless as they praise the beauty and bountiful resources of our country, but they also question the way we share and care for those rich blessings. The Woody Guthrie Center is proud to be gathering friends from along that ribbon of highway to join us in the same neighborhood where Woody wrote these important words to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the song—and we will be singing ALL of the verses Woody wrote on that day.”

    Deana McCloud, Executive Director of the Woody Guthrie Center

    A proponent of social justice, Guthrie’s original version contained verses about private property and poverty, which were as relevant in the post-Depression era as they are today. These political verses, contained in the original manuscript, were later dropped.

    The evening will feature special guests, including Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy. John Fullbright, Branjae Gangstagrass, and Haley Heynderickx will also make appearances.

    All proceeds from the show will help the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa, OK, as they further their mission of sharing Guthrie’s message of diversity, equality and social justice. For more information, visit woodyguthriecenter.org.

  • Slate Set for 3rd Year of Three Heads Brewing’s Rochester Residency

    Every Thursday for the last two years, and for the foreseeable future, Three Heads Brewing’s stage has been taken over by a local musician. Each musician gets to command the stage for a month of Thursdays in what has been dubbed the Rochester Residency. Old bands have been resurrected, current bands have been discovered, new bands have been formed and the classics have been recreated. This year also saw one local musician try their hand at booking with great success.

    Three Heads has released the 2020 Residents and it should be another fine year. First though, the month of January will be used to take a look back at some of the favorite shows from the first 2 years.

    Starting off Jan. 2, The Seven Wonders will bring back their Fleetwood Mac tribute that was the first show to sell out during the Residency. Herb Heins and the Turbines take the stage Jan. 9, followed by Ben Rossi’s tribute to “Sports” by Huey Lewis and the News Jan. 16. On the 23rd Brian McDonald brings back his all-star tribute to Cake. Closing out the month will be Left-handed Second Baseman’s tribute to Warren Zevon’s “Excitable Boy” on Jan. 30.

    For the rest of 2020, you can look forward to some new and exciting sets from the likes of Avis Reese (Danielle Ponder and the Tomorrow People), Zahyia Rolle (Vanishing Sun), Willy O’Riley (The Niche), Ryan Barclay (Moho Collective), Allison Sparkles (Dial Up), Max Flansburg (Dirty Blanket), Brandon Sheffer (Mochester), Mike Gladstone (junkyardfieldtrip), and Alex Cote (Mikaela Davis). The schedule is yet to be determined so stay in touch at the Rochester Residency Facebook page or over at the Three Heads Brewing website.

    There’s truly no better way to get involved in the local Rochester music scene so get involved.
