He’s
a chip off the old block of American hardwoods, a
spoken word poet, a singer-songwriter, rouser,
seeker, storyteller and conservationist. Well
traveled across the world, wherever he goes, he
celebrates people and places in song. Meet Larry
Long, one of the nation’s quintessential change
makers whose weapons of mass instruction simply
include a guitar and a good voice.
Like
his artistic forefathers before him, Pete Seeger and
Woody Guthrie, Long’s sense of place and time is
eloquently captured in his recorded music and in the
powerful community building he’s done with elders
and children all over the country and abroad. Never
far from his gaze are the struggles and poetry that
bring people together, whether through headline
historical events or the quiet celebrations of
everyday lives.
