Interesting story. The songs really added to it and the backup musicians, with their vocal and instrumental support, made it much more entertaining than just listing to to someone sing and play guitar (although he was an awesome guitar player). Well worth seeing.Written on Jun 27 2007

More Information About The Backroad Home
Description
Christopher Allport’s theatrical memoir The Backroad Home is a story of draft evasion in the 1960s, the open road and Allport’s father. Weaving personal history and tales from the highway with original music, the one-man show reflects the yearnings and dreams of an entire generation. Tracing the journey from hippie youth to the present, Allport’s stories and songs illuminate the choices we make when we're young and the understanding that comes only when we have lived.
