A musical conversation between two pillars of American popular and folk song, this concert will bring together the compositions of brothers Ira and George Gershwin and Woody Guthrie in a unified presentation. While in some ways Tin Pan Alley and the folk music scene of the 1930s-40s existed in worlds apart, this concert will celebrate all three composers as having equally important and reciprocal influences on the evolution of American music.
Join Sam Reider & Future Folk Musik for an evening spanning Gershwin, Guthrie, and a mix of everything in between.
