Arlo Guthrie at UCLA Live

He’s “coming into Los Angeles…”

Folk musician and storyteller Arlo Guthrie plays UCLA Live’s Royce Hall on April 8. He’ll be joined by the harmonies and instrumental accompaniment of his son, Abe Guthrie, and The Burns Sisters.

Guthrie, the son of legendary Woody Guthrie, was part of the pantheon of folk heroes who made their bones during the cultural tumult of the1960s.

Guthrie first came to prominence in 1967 with “Alice’s Restaurant,” an autobiographical 18 minute story/song that humorously and lightheartedly touched on the trials and tribulations of the anti-war movement. His stage performances have now spanned half a century, including an appearance at Woodstock.

The concert begins at 8 p.m. at Royce Hall on UCLA’s campus in Westwood. Tickets range from $33 to $53 and are available online or by phone at (310) 825-2101. UCLA students can attend for the discounted price of $15. Avoid the $10 required for parking by planning your trip with Metro.
