This Land Is Your Land – Woody Guthrie Wrote It Here

Janes Walk

Led By Rick Cohen

This musical celebration of our country’s natural splendor — an alternate anthem of sorts — how did Woody Guthrie come to write it just off Times Square of all places? Explore Woody’s whirlwind residency in early 1940. See where he stayed and studied and where his benefit appearances, radio performances, and introduction to Pete Seeger and Leadbelly launched his career and set the stage for the American folk music movement of the 50s and 60s.
