"We are born at the rise of the curtain and we die with its fall, and every night in the presence of our patrons we write our new creation, and every night it is blotted out forever; and of what use is it to say to audience or to critic,'Ah but you should have seen me last Tuesday?
Micheál MacLiammóir

Featured Artist

Arlo Guthrey

Monday 16th August - National Concert Hall. Dublin.

In 1961 a young Arlo Guthrie took to the stage for the first time … solo. He played in England, Scotland and Denmark during the summer of 1965, showing up at clubs or singing on street corners … alone. In November that same year he began work on his epic adventure, “Alice's Restaurant.” He worked as a solo artist touring around the world to as far away as Japan for the next two years until “Alice” was recorded. In 1967 “Alice's Restaurant” hit the radios and the record stores.

In 1969 four events converged to change everything. He appeared at Woodstock Music Festival, starred in the motion picture Alice's Restaurant, married Miss Malibu, Jackie Hyde, and bought an old farm in Massachusetts. He has rarely toured solo since those Woodstock days.

In 1983, alongside his thriving performing career, Arlo launched his own record label, Rising Son Records that holds his complete catalogue. His latest album, In Times Like These, is a dynamic work in which Arlo collaborated with the University of Kentucky Symphony Orchestra. It will be released on his 60th birthday, July 10.

In 1991, Arlo bought “The Church” which now houses The Guthrie Center, a not-for-profit interfaith church foundation, and The Guthrie Foundation, an educational foundation, dedicated to providing a wide range of local and international services.

In December 2005, using the Guthrie Foundation as a springboard, Arlo and his family rode the Amtrak City of New Orleans train from Chicago to New Orleans, stopping along the way to perform benefit concerts. “‘We saw the disaster unfold in New Orleans, on a level that probably hadn't been seen since the Dust Bowl era…and I wanted to do something that would actually help.' said Arlo” – The Wall Street Journal. Arlo Guthrie & Friends – Ridin' on the City of New Orleans (Benefiting Victims of Katrina) raised over $100,000 directly targeted for musicians.

Now Arlo continues on alone - rambling through songs and tales, “Guthrie is philosophical in a naturally funny and folksy way and, as with great storytellers such as Will Rogers and even his own father, he always manages to pluck a gem from a lot of dirt.” - The Los Angeles Times

“Some people think a folksinger is someone who just sings their own songs. That's a shame. It's like being of the tradition, rather than in it. I've taught myself to make any song I like my own.” – Arlo Guthrie

Seeking help with a new venue
Musiclee is presently looking for a premises somewhere in Dublin City to set up a members music club. The venue will ideally be capable of seating 100 minimum and we would install a stage area, pa etc.
It need not be a licenced premises. It could be a bare or even run down space.
It could be connected to and enhance an existing business eg restaurant, cafe or pub but may also be stand alone.
It could be a room that would also allow theatre, exhibitions, workshops etc. If anyone knows of a room with such potential that is available for rent or lease please let us know.  contact@@musiclee.ie
