About This Event
As the school year begins, we are excited to announce our Masters Of American Music Series is shifting to an earlier time slot starting in SEPTEMBER. Join us at Visible Voice 6-8PM the fourth Wednesday of every month. As much as we don't want to think about it - clocks will be turning back soon and earlier mornings are on the horizon. We're grateful to Visible Voice for working with us to program a ticketed event during store hours. Not only will you be able to get home by bedtime, but the full kitchen and cafe will be open for the duration of the show at the new time slot. For the first show in with an earlier event time, there’s no better person to kick it off than our Educational Program Director, Charlie Mosbrook!
Wednesday, September 23, join Charlie—2019 Woody Guthrie Folk Festival Songwriting Contest winner—for a look at the life, legacy, and music of Woody Guthrie.
Woody Guthrie’s songs grew out of the lives of ordinary people. Their struggles, their hopes, their work, and their dreams for a better world. From This Land Is Your Land to the countless songs and stories he left behind, Guthrie helped shape the tradition of American folk music and inspired generations of songwriters who followed.
Charlie Mosbrook has been exploring and performing Woody’s music for decades. He first performed Guthrie’s music at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in 1996, in a Hard Travelin’ program that also included Roots of American Music Founder, Kevin Richards, and Roots board member, Jason White.
Thirty years later, Charlie was invited back to support the Woody at Home program with Anna Canoni, granddaughter of Woody Guthrie and president of Woody Guthrie Publications.
Charlie has led workshops throughout the U.S. on the history, legacy, and music of Woody Guthrie, bringing the stories behind the songs to audiences of all ages.
In July of this year, Charlie released an album of Woody Guthrie songs, There Is a Better World Coming, which has received steady airplay on folk radio programs throughout the United States and Canada.
In addition to his role with Roots of American Music, Charlie Mosbrook is the current Vice President of Folk Alliance International and president of Northeast Ohio’s Folknet, and a recipient of the prestigious Folk Alliance Region Midwest Lantern Bearer Award.
Come join us for an evening of songs, stories, and the remarkable life of Woody Guthrie—and discover why his music still speaks to us today.
