MUSIC News:
Award-winning folk singer Sarah Lee Guthrie is celebrating the release of her new solo single “Honey and the Dew” with a string of tour dates across New Mexico and Colorado including April 26 at Historic Fuller Lodge in downtown Los Alamos.
“I wrote ‘Honey and the Dew’ probably about 10 years ago and as the world would have it, it took all this time to be in the right hands at the right time and believe me it was worth the wait!” Guthrie said.
Debut single “Honey and the Dew” is a charming love story brimming with western swing fiddle and lap steel. Guthrie’s dulcet tones sing of both past and present over accompaniment by Dave Biller, Jason Corbiere, Danny Levin, Thibault Ripault and Kevin Smith (Willie Nelson).
“Honey And The Dew” is reminiscent of wildflowers under a warm Texas sky, striking the perfect balance between lively instrumentation and sweet nostalgia. Produced by Billy Horton (Charley Crockett), the single is accompanied by a music video featuring art by Thibault Ripault.
Guthrie is the granddaughter of Woody Guthrie and daughter of Arlo Guthrie. Celebrating the release of her first single as a solo artist, she ventures on her own path, the rich culture of her family running through the warmth of her own bloodlines. But if you close your eyes and forget that her last name is synonymous with the river-legacy of a widening current of Americana folk music, you’d still be drawn to the clarity and soul behind her voice. There is a gentle urgency to her interpretations of the songs she sings and the classic music of her heritage. It flows from the continuity of her family, her vital artistic life today, and the songs that have guided her to where she now stands.
She has the kind of range that only a precious few career-artists command. Armed only with her voice and a Gibson acoustic, she brings festival crowds to a hush. Under her joyful spell, children audiences squeal with delight—clapping, singing, and learning through song. In the dim sway of the late-night honky tonks, old-guard cowboys and Austin two-steppers old and young stand side by side and dance to the songs of one of America’s finest young folk singers.
Guthrie looks forward to playing her new material in intimate settings across the southwest.
