Who Is Arlo Guthrie?
Arlo Guthrie is an American folk singer-songwriter best known for his storytelling songs and connection to the folk music tradition. He is the son of legendary folk musician Woody Guthrie, and he carried on his father’s legacy with his own unique style.
Arlo's music often explores social and political themes, reflecting the counterculture spirit of the 1960s and beyond.
One of Arlo's most famous songs is "Alice's Restaurant," a humorous, anti-war anthem that became a cultural touchstone. He has released numerous albums over his long career, blending folk, rock, and blues influences.
Arlo Guthrie’s music continues to inspire generations with its wit, warmth, and commitment to social justice.
