contemporary folk duo

Johnny Irion first made a name for himself on the college charts as a member of the group Queen Sarah Saturday; he's a highly poetic singer-songwriter with strong Southern roots and country rock leanings. As the youngest daughter of Arlo Guthrie and granddaughter of the legendary Woody Guthrie, Sarah Lee Guthrie grew up surrounded by music, naturally finding herself in the spotlight as the third-generation singer-songwriter in America's first family of folk music.

Featured on a number of her family's Rising Son label albums, both as vocalist and as writer, Sarah Lee blends alternative folk and country music with a hint of soul, drawing on her deep roots and surrealistic sense of humor. Together, this husband-wife team deliver a sweet and powerful performance, replete with rich vocal harmonies and Johnny's fine guitar and dobro playing. Last year the duo recorded an album, Unity Lodge (Rising Son), with Pete Seeger's grandson Tao Rodriguez-Seeger.
