Walden The Ballad of Thoreau
(Winchester, KY) The Leeds Center for the Arts is excited to present a concert and film combination on Friday, April 24, 2015 at 7 p.m. The con- cert portion will feature Michael Johnathon  an internationally known folksinger, songwriter, concert performer and author. The concert will be followed by the showing of his one hour docu-drama film based on his play on Henry David Thoreau called "Walden."
The concert and film is presented in acknowledgement of Earth Day week and Arbor Day.
Michael Johnathon, a former resident of Winchester, created and hosts the worldwide broadcast of the "WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour" with a radio audience with over a million listeners each week on 500 public radio stations, PBS-TV coast-to-coast plus American Forces Radio Net- work in 173 nations. He created the world's first multi-camera weekly music series broadcast on the Internet. The film is based on his play "Walden: The Ballad of Thoreau" with over 8,000 registered perform- ances in 42 countries and translated into four languages. In May, the Martin Guitar Company will be releasing a special Michael Johnathon model 0000-28s guitar called the WoodSongs QUAD 28-s.
Johnathon grew up in upstate New York along the shores of the Hudson
River. At 19 years old, he moved to the Mexican border town of Laredo,
Texas, and found a job working as the late night DJ. One night, he played
"Turn, Turn, Turn" by the 1960s folk rock group The Byrds. As the song
played, he recalled seeing the song's writer, his former neighbor Pete
Seeger, performing in his Dutchess County hometown in New York. By
the time the song had ended, Johnathon had decided to pursue a career as a folksinger.
Two months later, he bought a guitar and a banjo and settled into the isolated mountain hamlet of Mousie, Kentucky. For the next three years, he traveled up and down the hollers of the Appalachian Mountains, knocking on doors and learning the music of the mountain people. As his concert career blossomed he moved from the Appalachian hills to Winchester in the late 1980's. Today, He lives in a log cabin on a hill surrounded by meadows, streams and woods, outside of Lexington, Kentucky
Families, fans, teachers and students are encouraged to attend. His Walden film, which will be shown in its en- tirety, is a one hour, four-character, two-act, one-set play about the final two days Henry David Thoreau spent in his cabin before leaving Walden Pond. The documentary/stage show has been shown on nationwide TV on PBS.

Tickets for both the concert and Thoreau/Walden film are only $12 public; $5 students (12 and under). The Leeds Center for the Arts is located at 27 Main Street, Winchester, KY 859-744-6437
