While you are waiting for WGBB X to come around, WGBB IX has been made into three episodes of the Songs of Freedom TV program produced by Joel Landy. You can see Songs of Freedom over cable TV in the five boroughs of New York City and on the Internet worldwide. The show took place on July 12, 2009:

Here are links to the three episodes:

Hi All,

While the snow is falling around most of us, we have warm thoughts of Woody's music. This will be the 10th year! I, among others, look forward to sharing his songs with you, and having you sing with us.
So mark your calendar.

Keep on truckin'

I am looking forward to performing once again in the annual tribute to Woody Guthrie, in NYC, at the Bowery Poetry Club. It is always an enjoyable, upbeat and lively evening for performers and audience alike.

PRESS RELEASE

WOODY GUTHRIE BIRTHDAY BASH

For immediate release on or after June 1, 2010:

• Bowery Poetry Club to host Tenth Annual Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash.

• Round robin style songfest to take place at New York City club on Saturday, July 17, 2010, from 7:00 to 9:30 PM.

• Net proceeds to benefit Haiti.


New York City's Bowery Poetry Club will play host to a two-and-a-half-hour songfest honoring the 98th birthday of American folk music legend Woody Guthrie. This Tenth Annual Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash will begin promptly at 7:00 PM, Saturday, July 17, 2010. The cover charge is only $8, with a minimum purchase of one drink requested. All net proceeds from the cover charge will be donated to Oxfam America for Haiti earthquake relief and reconstruction.

The Bowery Poetry Club is located at 308 Bowery between Houston and Bleecker Streets in the East Village section of Lower Manhattan.

Born in Okemah, Oklahoma, on July 14, 1912, Woody Guthrie lived in New York off and on from 1940 until his death from Huntington's disease in 1967.

The Birthday Bash will feature the songs of Guthrie and others performed in round robin fashion by various folk artists. Among them will be Sharleen Leahey, who will appear in a Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash for the first time. Sharleen is a talented guitarist, songwriter, and singer of both traditional and contemporary folk songs.

Returning artists will include Toby Fagenson, Jessica Feinbloom, Joel Landy, Anne Price, Steve Suffet, and Gina Tlamsa. Each is an established performer in his or her own right. As in the past, Carlos Vazquez will provide accompaniment on the bass.

As an added bonus, the Tenth Annual Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash will celebrate the first anniversary of the release of Open Your Hearts to the Paradise / The Best of the Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash. This CD features carefully selected live performances by 13 artists from the first eight Woody Guthrie Birthday Bashes. Only 500 copies have been pressed, and once those are sold, the CD will not be reissued.

Additional information about the Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash and the CD can be found at the website: tinyurl.com/woodybash

For information regarding the Bowery Poetry Club, please call 212-614-0505 or go to the website: www.bowerypoetry.com

For this year only, the Folk Music Society of New York, Inc., will co-sponsor the Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash. Information about the society can be found at its website: www.folkmusicny.org

Hi everyone,

We have been fortunate to fill the room these last nine years in this tribute to Woody Guthrie. And we thank you for your support.
It seems like everyone has a terrific evening with the audience singing almost as much as those on stage. So don't miss out on a really good time. This year the admission will help a good cause as well. I hear Woody's spirit saying, "Good job."

Hope to see you and please say hello,
Jessica

Here is a big THANK YOU! to everyone who came to the Tenth Annual Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash last night. The house was packed to capacity and rocking, a good time was had by all, and we raised $420 to give to Oxfam America for Haiti earthquake relief and recovery.

See you all next July!
