Members of the Woody Guthrie Teaching Collective headed to Nashville in September to present at the AMERICANAFEST conference. The Collective hosted a roundtable on the legacy of Woody and his influence on the music of Jimmy LaFave. Jaimee Harris sang “Worn Out American Dream.”

Headed to the mountains of Boone, NC for a #songwriter festival this weekend.

Since I saw that clip of Oliver Anthony singing 'Rich Men North of Richmond', the ghost of Woody Guthrie has been whispering in my ear. So today I sat down and wrote this response youtube.com/watch?v=qGNFR7…

Happy birthday, Ramblin' Jack Elliott! He turns 92 years old today. Supposedly, Woody once said, "Jack sounds more like me than I do!" 📸: Ramblin' Jack Elliott and Nora Guthrie installing the lyrics to "This Land Is Your Land" at the opening of the Woody Guthrie Center in 2013.

Founding member Aimee Zoeller took students to Big Thief’s soundcheck before their show in Indianapolis to discuss music, the creative process, and social change.

This is a hand-written translation of the original French lyrics to the Internationale as given to me by Pete Seeger. To find out why Ol' Pete felt I needed them you'll have to buy, steal or borrow the book that comes with the Roaring Forty box set

Very moving to hear from Stan Grant how his Aboriginal grandfather was shamefully dispossessed by the Australian authorities. His introduction gave Woody’s words a powerful contemporary context.
