Lonesome Traveler

About the Show

The World Premiere

Lonesome Traveler, a musical event that takes audiences on a journey down the rivers and streams of American Folk Music — from the hills of Appalachia to the nightclubs of San Francisco and New York; from the 1920s to the 1960s. Written and directed by Rubicon’s Artistic Director James O’Neil, with Musical Direction and Arrangements by Dan Wheetman, Lonesome Traveler is presented in the style of a concert and performed by nine artists who create musical portraits inspired by folk immortals such as Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, The Carter Family, Lead Belly, Cisco Houston, The Almanac Singers, The Weavers, The Kingston Trio, Peter Paul & Mary and others whose music and influence changed American music – and America itself-forever.
