Arthur Godfrey
Arthur Godfrey may not sound like your typical
singer-songwriter, but one listen to his gritty songs about life
and surviving reveals the soul of a poet (Performing
Songwriter magazine, July/August
2005). In 2001 Godfrey released his critically acclaimed CD East
Side of Town, catching the attention
of actor/director Sean Penn.
He’s won
the prestigious John Lennon Songwriting Contest twice and been
featured on the Americana Music Association’s 2004 compilation
CD with such artists as Willie Nelson, Lucinda Williams and the
late Johnny Cash. Having achieved
recognition among music-industry peers, he’s now focusing
on taking this play, his first work for the stage, on the road.
Godfrey, who acts as a musical narrator
of sorts during the play, performs the 13 original songs in If
I
Only
Knew
Your
Name live
during each performance, and the play opens and closes with Godfrey
alone
onstage.
