This Land Is Your Land: A Tribute to John Steinbeck, Woody Guthrie and the American Spirit
Saturday, September 20th at 2pm
Sleep Train Pavilion at Concord
Featuring performances by:
Sheryl Crow
The Black Keys
Cat Power
Henry Rollins (spoken word)
Mike Ness Band
Son Volt
Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion
more to be announced
Tickets are on sale now
San Francisco, CA (August 25, 2008) - Live Nation is proud to announce
the initial artist lineup for This Land Is Your Land, the first major
event celebrating the legacies of both John Steinbeck and Woody Guthrie.
This Land Is Your Land will feature performances by Sheryl Crow, The
Black Keys, Cat Power, Henry Rollins (in a special spoken word set),
Mike Ness Band, Son Volt and Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion, in
addition to an exhibit showcasing historical artifacts and rare video
footage from the Woody Guthrie and John Steinbeck archives. A portion of
the ticket proceeds from This Land Is Your Land will benefit the John
Steinbeck and Woody Guthrie family foundations, organizations intent on
preserving the manuscripts and materials of, and educating the public
about, John Steinbeck and Woody Guthrie. Tickets for this special event
on September 20th at the Sleep Train Pavilion at Concord are onsale now
at Livenation.com.
John Steinbeck has been called "the Woody Guthrie of American authors,"
and Woody Guthrie has been called "the soundtrack to Steinbeck." These
icons of 20th century American art are bound by their writings (Grapes
of Wrath, Dust Bowl Ballads), their concerns (plight of the common
people, fate of the natural environment) and, now, through their
families (Sarah Lee Guthrie, granddaughter of Woody Guthrie, is married
to Johnny Irion, great nephew of John Steinbeck). Themes depicted by
John Steinbeck and Woody Guthrie more than half a century ago still
resonate with Americans concerned about climate change, income
disparity, and home foreclosures. This Land Is Your Land aims to bridge
the decades and the generations, and, through a festival of music, art,
and spoken word, celebrate John Steinbeck and Woody Guthrie and the
American spirit, one of resilience and resolve.
Items on display from the John Steinbeck archives include signed first
editions of Steinbeck's novels, copies of private correspondence between
Steinbeck and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as well as other historical
and literary figures, and original one sheets from movies of Steinbeck
including The Grapes of Wrath, Viva Zapata, The Wayward Bus and more.
Historical artifacts on display from the Woody Guthrie Archives include
original lyrics, artwork and photographs, including his Dust Bowl
Ballads and other materials which express Woody's ever-present
possibility of social justice, the power of activism and his love for
the great spirit in each of us.
Each of the artists performing at This Land Is Your Land were handpicked
for their dedication to social activism, environmental causes and human
rights.
"We're honored that these great artists are lending their voices to this
celebration of two American icons. John Steinbeck and Woody Guthrie
were the voices of a generation, and the issues that resonated with them
over 50 years ago still remain issues that we face today" said Lee
Smith, Chairman of Live Nation San Francisco.
Tickets for This Land Is Your Land are on sale now at Livenation.com.
Tickets can be purchased with no service charge at the venue box office
on Sundays between 10am and 2pm. Reserved tickets are $80.50, $75.50,
$46.00 and $19.00 and general admission lawn tickets are $19.00 plus
applicable charges.

Shadows on the Path
| Posted on 8/5/2008
My friend, Abdi Assadi, has just published a wonderful book called Shadows on the Path. It has helped me immensely at times when I have felt the chaos of the world pushing down on me.
As I go out and play each night, I feel the weight of so many people asking themselves the same questions I have been asking myself: Where do I factor in my life? Where do I factor in the world? and, how do I deal with the chaos in my life?
I am deeply grateful for Abdi's insights. He has personally helped me find my own strength at times in my life that were personally very challenging. He has constantly helped me to remember who I am and who I was born to be...a loving, compassionate, and above all, awake person who is not afraid to walk in the truth.
I hope you will find the same wisdom and strength I have found in this wonderful book.

Hey Everybody!
We are having a great time on the road this summer. I had the chance to talk about my new clothing line (which I am super excited about) last week on The Today Show, but I also want to make sure that I keep our internet friendly fraternity in the loop too.

The line will initially be offered at select Dillard's branches and some boutique stores across America beginning August 15th. I am really proud of the line and hope you guys will check it out!
