Arlo Davy Guthrie is an American folk singer and son of the famous folk pioneer Woody Guthrie. Known for protesting against social injustice through his music, Arlo shot to fame with his song ‘Alice's Restaurant Massacree’, a sarcastic blues song, which became so popular that it was sung as the Thanksgiving anthem in the United States. His song ‘Massachusetts’, a part of his album ‘Amigo’, was adopted by the legislature as the official folk song of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Being the son of a popular folk artiste, he was exposed to music from a young age. It did not take him long to realize that music was his life’s calling. Arlo was 13 when he performed for the first time at a public show. By the mid-1960s, he had become an icon of the counterculture generation, and was at the peak of his career in the late 1960s and early 1970s. His albums ‘Arlo’ and ‘Running down the Road’ were quite successful. His song ‘Coming into Los Angeles’ was featured in the soundtrack of the film ‘Woodstock.’ He created his own recording label, Rising Son Records, in 1983. Like many other folk musicians, Arlo Guthrie also feels that it is his duty to pass folk music and its values on to the coming generations.
