Darryl presents “Woody Guthrie Hour” at Politicon, the Unconventional Political Convention, on Sunday June 26. In that session, Darryl will debut a new song that draws upon the Guthrie tradition to create a new song for today’s economy. “Woody loved to write ‘answer songs’—songs that played off popular songs to create a new song with a new message,” says Darryl. “I’m taking the Carter Family’s old song from the ‘30s, “No Depression in Heaven”, and creating a new musical statement on today’s economy.”
