Born Woodrow Wilson Guthrie in 1912, Woody Guthrie became the nation’s most recognizable and important folk singer before the folk revolution of the 1960s and 1970s. To mark the centennial of his birth and his lasting significance, a series of events will be presetned in partnership with the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West and the GRAMMY Museum. Scholars, journalists and musicians will come together for a day-long symposium featuring discussions and performances that will commemorate Woody Guthrie’s life, legacy and impact on American politics, music and culture. Following the symposium, a concert at L.A. LIVE’s Nokia Theatre will pay tribute to Guthrie with some of the nation’s most celebrated musicians.

Organized by William Deverell (History).
