Legendary Troubadour Ramblin' Jack Elliott At Bethel Woods Event Gallery

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Bethel Woods Center) - Ramblin' Jack Elliott is a true American original and 2010 Grammy Award winner for Best Traditional Blues Album. On Sunday, September 26th he will perform his legendary country/folk music for the Bethel Woods' audience in the intimate, indoor Event Gallery. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. for a 7:00 p.m. performance. Tickets are $30.00 in advance and $35.00 day of show.

One of the great American musical treasures, Elliott has had a rich and storied life. As a budding musician, he developed his voice under the tutelage of Woody Guthrie, truck hitching across the country off and on for a couple of years together, carrying only 'razors and guitars.' Elliott was also a fixture in the Greenwich Village scene, and once spent 'three days and a lot of wine' listening to Jack Kerouac read On the Road. But it is his relationship with a young Bob Dylan that Elliott is perhaps most famous for, though back in the 1960s the up-and-coming Dylan was often mistakenly dubbed the 'son of Jack Elliott.' Today Elliott simply states 'Dylan learned from me the same way I learned from Woody.'

Revered for his interpretive take on traditional American music, Elliott also steps out of the country/folk arena that shaped his legend 50+ years in the making. On his most recent album, he examined a number of pre-WWII blues songs in a wholly unique way.
