Labor Day Live: Celebrating 50 Years of BeauSoleil
In this Labor Day edition of American Routes, we’ll examine the life and music of Woody Guthrie, in the words of family, friends and fellow travelers. We’ll take a look at the man and his musical labors through the words of the late Pete Seeger, daughter Nora Guthrie, Jeff Tweedy from Wilco and more. Then a live concert from the Cajun folk band BeauSoleil, led by fiddler Michael Doucet and joined by guest artists who have played with them over the years, in celebration of their half century playing music.
