Folk Uke

Being the offspring of famous musicians may come with some baggage, but that doesn’t seem to bother the members of Folk Uke: Amy Nelson (daughter of Willie Nelson) and Cathy Guthrie (daughter of Arlo Guthrie). They stand on their own merits by offering charmingly off-kilter material and not taking themselves too seriously. Their mellow country-folk features honey-sweet vocal harmonies and subdued strumming (Nelson on guitar and Guthrie on ukulele), but the duo really makes its mark with humorous and often absurd lyrics and entertaining tongue-in-cheek tales.

The Guthrie Center

The Guthrie Center’s mission is to bring individuals together for cultural, educational, and spiritual exchange. The Center is dedicated to meeting the ongoing needs of the community by working together with other non-profit agencies to serve those in need. In doing so we hope to create an environment where individuals can come together to cultivate a deeper awareness of culture, humanity and the environment of which we are all a part.

Modest Me

Modest Me (featuring Krishna Guthrie - Abe Guthrie's son and Arlo's grandson) was formed in the fall of 2010. Each band member brings a different musical background and style to the band. In most cases these styles would clash, but we some how found the right chemistry. With combining efforts, Modest Me has something for every one, reggae, retro, ska, jazz, funk, blues, rock, even a little hint of metal on occasion. Not only do each of the members have a different style, but every one plays each instrument and writes their own tunes making for an entertaining show for everyone including ourselves!

Xavier (Abe Guthrie Band)

Xavier is an eclectic and dynamic rock band formed in 1984 by current members Abe Guthrie, Randy Cormier and Tim Sears. Drummer Dan Teichert joined the line up in 2000 forming a tight band with incredible live shows. Each musician brings a distinctive style to the mix that lends itself to the enigmatic style of this accomplished band. Having toured worldwide with Arlo Guthrie, they have shared the stage with many legends. A complex amalgam of a variety of styles, Xavier makes great music— pure and simple. Clearly evident are their roots in rock, blues, psychedelia, and pop-influenced genres, and the sound that is born in uniquely Xavier; a new genus perhaps. Truly defying definition, a good time is guaranteed when this band plays.
