Woody’s son Arlo Guthrie settles into the Freight on Tuesday for a three-night engagement as part of the Re:Generation Tour (which also plays Monterey’s Golden State Theatre on March 8 and Napa’s Uptown Theatre April 14). Fresh off of celebrating the 50th anniversary of “Alice’s Restaurant,” his classic recording memorializing the world’s most famous citation for littering, Arlo arrives with family in tow. Abe Guthrie has accompanied his father on keyboards and vocals for more than two decades, while his sister, respected singer/songwriter Sarah Lee Guthrie, is also part of the band.

The lineup grew to include pedal steel, trumpet, trombone, upright bass and drums. “Everyone else in the band comes from their own musical background, which complements that dichotomy in some way,” Myhre said. The band has an infectious energy and an unflagging sense of fun. “If you’re not having fun as a musician, you’re definitely not getting paid enough to justify continuing it, right?” Myhre said with a laugh. The joy can be heard in their current release, “I’ve Never Met a Stranger.” There has been an evolution over the course of their three albums.
