The annual Woody Guthrie New York Hoot will take place on Thurs. Oct. 16 at 7:00pm! With its roots going back 24 years, the Woody Guthrie New York Hoot is a two hour round robin songfest featuring a few of the 3,000+ songs that Woody Guthrie sang. Born in Okemah, Oklahoma, in 1912, Woody made New York City his home off and on from 1940 until his death from Huntington’s disease in 1967 at the age of 55. This year’s performers include Pat Lamanna, Joel Landy, Marie Mularczyk O’Connell, Anne Price, and Steve Suffet. Each is an established artist in his or her own right, and all are longtime Woody Guthrie admirers. At and sponsored by the New York Irish Center. 1040 Jackson Avenue. Long Island City, Queens, NY. Near the Vernon-Jackson subway station. Supported by the Folk Music Society of New York. Admission $15. For information visit NewYorkIrishCenter.org or call 718-482-0909. (fb)
