Music Downloads: Tracks that Inspired THE GRAPES OF WRATH Musical Score

The live musical score put together by musical director Allen Robertson for THE GRAPES OF WRATH has generated a huge buzz in the Austin music community.

At once gracefully appropriated and historically accurate, the score adds another layer to this gorgeous production. But its origins have been somewhat of a mystery to ZACH audiences ...

... until now! Z-News readers, we are happy to present free music downloads of 6 tracks that inspired the lush melodic musings of THE GRAPES OF WRATH musical score:

  • "Dust Bowl Children" by Peter Rowan
    (Performed by John Pointer in the show)

  • "66" by Michael Smith
    (Performed by John Pointer, Zach Thompson and Paul Mitchell Wright)

  • "Pastures of Plenty" by Woody Guthrie
