This award-winning show celebrating the life and career of folk-legend Woody Guthrie makes its triumphant return to Fringe! Join us on an authentically American musical journey, using Guthrie’s own words and over two dozen of his timeless songs in one joyous, toe-tapping musical. Performed by a multi-talented group of four actor-musicians playing more than a dozen instruments, this simple and beautiful show brings the man and his music to gleaming life. 'A terrific show… the musicianship is outstanding' (Times). 'This low-key, high-spirited celebration… knocks big West End biopics… into a heap of dust' (Guardian).

Why see this show?

Over two dozen songs and more than a dozen instruments — the musicianship is the draw here, and the format of using Guthrie's own words grounds everything in the real. A warm, big-hearted show that suits the Cowbarn well.
