"'The pair click together like an old belt buckle'--Independent on Sunday"
Sarah Lee Guthrie (daughter of Arlo, granddaughter of Woody) and guitarist Johnny Irion (EYE-ree-on) met in Los Angeles (they were introduced by Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes), married two years later, and moved to Irion's hometown of Columbia, South Carolina. Sarah Lee has inherited a good chunk of both the family charm and the ambitious songwriting bent of her famous ancestors, and Johnny adds a jolt of Southern blues to the mix. Comparisons to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings just seem to pop up when they sing harmony. Sarah Lee and Johnny have toured with Arlo Guthrie and were most recently seen locally as part of Pete Seeger's joyous accompanying group at the 2009 Ann Arbor Folk Festival. We're enthusiastic about welcoming another Guthrie generation back to the Ark stage! Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion come to Michigan with a great new two-disc live release, "Folksong."
