...David M Lutken is an American actor and writer. He is the co-writer (with Nick Corley) and the star of a new musical, Woody Sez, about Woody Guthrie, who according to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was "the original folk hero; a man who, in the Thirties and Forties, transformed the folk ballad into a vehicle for social protest and observation, and paved the way for the likes of Bob Dylan". 'Woody Sez - the Life and Music of Woody Guthrie' is at the Arts Theatre, London.//

...Woody Guthrie 's blend of folk and protest to benefit homeless charity - Woody Sez for C4WS at St Pancras Old Church

Published: 17 March 2011

WOODY Guthrie’s potent blend of folk and protest became the soundtrack for the American Depression in the 1930s. He has inspired generations ever since – without Woody, there’d have been no Dylan.

On Sunday, at a special performance at St Pancras Old Church, the actors/ musicians are giving up their day off to raise money for Camden homeless charity, C4WS - http://www.coldweathershelter.org - ...
