About Lonesome Traveler on Broadway
Story for Lonesome Traveler
Lonesome Traveler takes audiences on a journey down the rivers and streams of American folk from the backwoods of Appalachia to the nightclubs of San Francisco and New York. Nine young singer/musicians dramatize key moments in the history of the American folk revival, portraying characters such as The Carter Family, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Odetta, Leadbelly, The Kingston Trio and Joan Baez. Weaving together a tapestry of the venues and historic circumstances that put folk at the core of the great changes which swept American society from the 1920s to the 1960s, Lonesome Traveler celebrates the legacy of folk as the soundtrack of social change and moral revolution.
