Known as The Dust Bowl Balladeer, he was born in Okemah, Oklahoma, and spent years traveling throughout the U.S. before moving to New York City in 1940. Guthrie lived here, from December 1942 to May 1943, where he wrote patriotic, anti-Fascist songs supporting the US role in WWII, and played music with such friends as blues icon Lead Belly, Sonny Terry, and Brownie McGhee. Guthrie helped popularize a new approach to songwriting, telling stories of hardship and hopes; where topics including workers’ rights, social injustices, historic events, civil rights, and political issues became the foundation for his musical creativity and expression.
