Programming at the Urbana Free Library never ceases to amaze me. Tonight Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion’s nationwide tour brings them to town to perform a free concert a part of the library’s “Heroes” series. The concert begins at 7 p.m.
Sarah Lee is the daughter of folk rocker Arlo Guthrie and granddaughter of the legendary Woody Guthrie — there’s no doubt that talent runs in the family. Guthrie and Irion’s music resembles the lyricism of Bob Dylan, mirror the spirits of June and Johnny Cash and continues the legacy of her grandfather’s one-of-a-kind sound. Click here for a quick taste of Guthrie and Irion performing an acoustic set. And make your way to the library tonight to catch the darling duo live.
The Urbana Free Library is located at 210 W. Green St. in Urbana.
