“The old spirits keep calling, but remain unheard whispers, their voices drowned out by the roaring of immediate news,” says ARLO of the forthcoming CD. “They sing of a world lost and found anew. The coming world is not some distant dream. I sing of a world yet to be, and here all along. I am here to sing the songs that ease the passage of an age, and welcomes once again a Lost World.”

The eldest son of America's most beloved singer/writer/philosopher Woody Guthrie, ARLO grew up surrounded by such musicians as Pete Seeger, Leadbelly and Ramblin' Jack Elliott, all of whom were major influences on his career. ARLO practically lived in the most famous venues of the "Folk Boom" era – in NYC he hung out at Gerdes Folk City and The Gaslight, and in Philly he made places like the 2nd Fret and the Main Point his home.

ARLO's career exploded in 1967 with the release of "Alice's Restaurant", whose title song premiered at the Newport Folk Festival and helped foster a new commitment among the '60s generation to social consciousness and activism. With songs like "Alice's Restaurant" too long for radio airplay; "Coming into Los Angeles" banned from many radio stations; and the definitive rendition of Steve Goodman's "City of New Orleans", ARLO became an artist of international stature, even though he has never had a hit in the usual sense.

Over the last four decades ARLO has toured the world, winning a broad and dedicated following. In addition to being an accomplished musician, ARLO is a natural-born storyteller whose hilarious tales and timeless anecdotes are woven seamlessly into his shows.

The Lost World Tour will include selections from the forthcoming CD, some tried-and-true classics, and perhaps a selection or two from “Dad” – ARLO just released “Thirty-two Cents/Postage Due” an album of his father’s songs, named in recognition of the commemorative stamp issued for Woody Guthrie.
