WOODY REDISCOVERED
an Exploration of Woody Guthrie's Lesser Known Songs
with Steve Suffet and Anne Price

Saturday • September 30, 2006 • 8:00 to 10:30 PM
at the home of Kathie Mack • 7208 Maple Avenue • Takoma Park, MD

3 blocks from the Takoma Park Metro station. Suggested donation: $15.

There are more than 3,000 songs in the Woody Guthrie Archives, and Woody recorded well over 300 of them. However, only about 30 are well known today. In this musical workshop Anne Price and Steve Suffet will introduce you to a few of Woody Guthrie's other 2,970+ songs. Some were recorded or published in Woody's own lifetime; others were discovered among his effects after his death. All deserve to be recognized as the gems that they are. Come prepared to learn some new old songs!

Steve Suffet is best described as an old-fashioned folksinger. His repertoire is a mixture of railroad songs, trucker songs, cowboy songs, union songs, old time ballads, blues, ragtime, Gospel, bluegrass, topical-political songs, and whatever else tickles his fancy.

Anne Price is a versatile and gifted singer born and raised in New York City. She sings a wide variety of traditional folk songs and many songs from contemporary songwriters, as well as songs she has written. Her wide repertoire includes Appalachian ballads, Irish and Scottish songs, country songs, songs of the sea, cowboy songs, songs about work and the labor move-ment, feminist songs, and love songs.

Both Steve and Anne have been Woody Guthrie fans since childhood.
