Commissioned and produced by Pete Townshend, Fire & Dust: A Woody Guthrie Story is a captivating journey into the life of one of America’s greatest folk icons, created by celebrated singer-songwriter Reg Meuross.At this show, Reg Meuross is joined by two members of his band, The Strike—renowned multi-instrumentalists Geraint Watkins (accordion, piano) and Marion Fleetwood (strings)—to bring Guthrie’s powerful story to life through music. Adding to the magic is narration by Will Kaufman, a world expert on Woody Guthrie and author of four books about the legendary folk singer.
With songs and stories that highlight Guthrie’s fight against racism, inequality, and injustice, Fire & Dust draws poignant parallels between Guthrie’s time and our present day. Townshend saw this project as drawing a direct line from Woody Guthrie through Bob Dylan to Reg Meuross, and described it as “folk music at its best.”
This extraordinary performance combines Meuross’s songwriting mastery with Guthrie’s enduring legacy, creating an unforgettable evening of music, storytelling, and history.
“His song-writing comes straight from the heart, the melodies fall under the fingers. This is folk music at its best.” Pete Townshend
“There’s something special about the way he writes and delivers a song” - Townes Van Zandt
