How would you like to perform in a tribute for Woody Guthrie, one of the most celebrated songwriters and activists in American history?

Even better, how would you like to perform some of Woody Guthrie's songs on sacred ground at Beluthahatchee Park, the home of the one and only Stetson Kennedy? Stetson Kennedy was one of the greatest authors and defender of human rights and social justice.

This Call for Artists is for 2-4 acts needed for a Woody Guthrie Tribute concert at the Sundays at Stetsons concert series on Sunday, August 13, 2023 from 2-4 pm.

The concert will be held at:
Beluthahatchee Park
1523 S.R. 13 N
Fruit Cove, FL. 32259

The performer stipend will be between $50-100 per act, depending on the number of acts selected.

Artists/acts will be able to showcase their music in a family friendly environment, and should be able to present a professional quality 25-minute acoustic performance of 5-6 or more Woody Guthrie songs. These can be songs he wrote and/or co-wrote, ones he covered, songs you or other songwriters wrote about him, or are written in the style of Woody Guthrie.

All music and performers will be representative of the values of the Stetson Kennedy Foundation: human rights, social justice, environmental stewardship, and the preservation and growth of folk culture.
