The Guy Clark Family Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to supporting songwriters, is celebrating the 50 th anniversary of Old No. 1 with a series of 12 concerts throughout the US this fall to bring awareness to the organization and to boost songwriters who work in the spirit of songwriter Guy Clark whose catalog remains fundamental in the Americana genre. This special evening features an all-star group of Chicago songwriting talent Robbie Fulks, Janet Bean (Freakwater), Steve Dawson, Josh Caterer (the Smoking Popes), and Naomi Ashley performing Clarks legendary 1975 debut album Old No. 1 (L.A. Freeway, Desperados Waiting for a Train) followed by a second set where they will perform their own original material in a round together. Proceeds from this show benefits The Guy Clark Family Foundation which offers songwriters who work in the spirit of Guy Clark the opportunity to learn, write, collaborate, record, perform, and share their work with a global audience. Filmmaker and Clark biographer Tamara Saviano, who managed Clark for years, will also be present. Visit guyclark.com/foundation.
