Arlo Guthrie is an American folk singer from Coney Island, Brooklyn, who began his career in the early 1960s during the American folk revival, performing acoustic folk and protest songs. His musical style blends conversational storytelling and long-form satirical songs with elements of country, blues and rock, and his repertoire evolved from topical protest material into narrative, humorous performances closely associated with the 1960s and 1970s countercultural scene.
