Happy 100th Birthday Woody!

Winnipeg’s leading lights in the folk music community invite you to celebrate the 100th birthday of prolific songwriter Woody Guthrie. On May 17 at the West End Cultural Centre join the Magnificent Sevens, Sweet Alibi, JD Edwards, Leonard Podolak, Tim Osmond, Lindsay Jane, and Hugo Torres Cereceda in honouring the work of Woody Guthrie which continues to lead and inspire others to change the world through song.

Tickets are $20 and available at West End Cultural Centre, Organic Planet, and Mondragon. The concert is presented by the MayWorks Festival of Labour and the Arts. Visit mayworks.org or call 947-2220 for details.

This Sunday on Tell the Band to Go Home, we will have a pair of tickets to give away for this exciting show!
