You’re Invited! 1st Anniversary Celebration Saturday, August 4, 2018 Drop by during the day for cake and enjoy these wonderful performances: 11am - “Festival” : Directed by Murray Lerner Special Screening in advance of the official U.S. Premiere in Los Angeles Festival depicts the American folk revival of the 1960s through observing the annual Newport Folk Festival between 1963 and 1966. The film is an amazing historical document of a rich cultural moment, setting the stage for the more revolutionary developments of the later 60s and 70s. The big names are all there, including Pete Seeger, Peter, Paul and Mary, Donovan, Joan Baez and Bob Dylan. But unlike the more canonized and better-known 60s festival documentaries like Monterey Pop, Woodstock and Gimme Shelter, Festival presents a relatively diverse and inclusive notion of what would come to be called the “counterculture.” 1:00-2:30pm - Come make a “Who Are You” Collage!

Press Release
PRESS RELEASE Annie Leibovitz: American Music at Jackson Fine Art September 9—October 22, 2005 Traveling from New York to Los Angeles and now coming to the south, portraits of American music legends by the world-renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz will premiere at Jackson Fine Art on Friday, September 9, 2005 from 6 to 8pm. This exhibition will showcase this central theme of American Music highlighting Leibovitz’s long and celebrated career. The show will run until October 22, 2005 and will also feature Leibovitz’s newest book from Random House, American Music. “I started out as a photographer at Rolling Stone more than twenty-five years ago,” Leibovitz says, “and I wanted to go back to the subject of music with a mature eye. Bring my experience to it…make it a real American tapestry.” From juke joints to Graceland, Leibovitz traveled through the landscape of blues, gospel, jazz, country and rock. Her subjects include American icons B.B. King, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Miles Davis, Tony Bennett, Pete Seeger, Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan, Tina Turner, Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, and many relatively obscure musicians such as Othar Turner, R.L. Burnside, Jessie Mae Hemphill and Irma Thomas. Although mostly shot between 1999 and 2000, some were taken in the early 1970s when Leibovitz became Rolling Stone magazine’s chief photographer. Leibovitz’s photographs of musicians have become signature images that vividly capture the artists behind the music. Her ability to portray each subject’s personality with her own distinct flair continues to set her work apart from other portrait artists.

Protest Music As Responsible Citizenship Was a Special Event That
Protest Music As Responsible Citizenship was a special event that studied how music helps to construct the political consciousness of a nation, how songs mobilize thousands of people around issues affecting American life, and how music addresses the role of America in the global context. The event brought together Harry Belafonte, Holly Near, Bernice Johnson Reagon, and Pete Seeger, four musicians who have played key public roles in the past decades, to discuss how citizenship, music, and social change take on greater significance in this time of increasing polarization both at home and globally. Music and social change have been documented through autobiographies and biographies of performers, ethnographic studies of music and cultural performance, and ethnomusicology research on music and revolution. However, little has been documented about the role of public music performances in shaping citizen responses to political events. The musicians participating in the event and conversation--Harry Belafonte, Holly Near, Bernice Johnson Reagon, and Pete Seeger--have challenged the public to consider issues of national security and responsible citizenship. Through their songs, stories, and actions, these musicians have enacted their citizenship by voicing a challenging call. Protest Music as Responsible Citizenship explored how protest music and protest itself can be considered responsible citizenship. The event, which was moderated by James Early of the Smithsonian and Mershon’s Amy Horowitz, included a roundtable that brought together artists and a variety of scholars from Ohio State to discuss the complexities of protest music and other political art in a complicated global society. The event also included an evening performance for the public, where the artists performed songs and discussed their own political and performing histories.

Watson “[I]n a long history of poverty, defeat, and suffering on all sides… music in multiple forms became and indispensable source of solace, renewal, and strength.” “You Have to Call Me the Way You See Me” Johnny Cash “Look, I appreciate… all the praise and the glory, but it doesn’t change the way I feel about anything, really. I just do what I do and just hope the people enjoy it and just try to be myself in whatever I do.” “You Sleep with None and You Wake with Ghosts”: Emmylou Harris as the Widow of Nashville by Marcus Desmond Harmon “Emmylou Harris’s post-Parsons work is a celebration of complicated grief, casting about for ways to both ‘move on’ and stay faithful to the past.” Southern Borderlands: Music, Migrant Life, and Scenes of a “Mexican South” by Alex E. Chavez “The strumming of stringed instruments booms out through the PA, elaborate fiddle melodies erupt, followed by the soaring voice of the poet-practitioner, embracing those present, scanning the scene before him…drifting, shaping, movies that elicit a chorus of gritos.” Helping Pave the Road to FAME: Behind the Music of Muscle Shoals by Christopher Reali “We took time, there was no set pattern to how we recorded.

The evening-length, adrenaline-inducing sequence of hyper physicality and extreme virtuosity is described by The New York Times as “where dance meets sport.” 2017 Juried Bessie Award-winner Abby Zbikowski’s unique movement vocabulary brings together hip-hop, West African, and postmodern dance styles. “Abby Zbikowski is a new highly acclaimed voice in the dance world. Her work abandoned playground immerses the audience in the sometimes beautiful and sometimes brutal dances that manifest themselves amongst players in team sports. The piece starts and it just doesn’t stop—you can’t believe the ferocity of these dancers!” says Jacob’s Pillow Director Pamela Tatge. In abandoned playground, nine dancers are pushed to the brink of their capabilities and their endurance is tested as they rip and run throughout the theater, performing complex sequences of full- bodied dance. Zbikowski highlights each dancer’s unique strengths, forging an intense ensemble connection through vocalizations and channeling of communal energy. Performing such extreme and virtuosic movement at a relentless pace, the dancers invigorate and push

He transmutes the lower East Side settings of those gangster movies to give the genre a richer, more luxuriant visual texture. His widescreen view of a group of Jewish kids who start with petty crime and move into big- time racketeering is set in 1921, 1933, and 1968, but not in that order….It isn't just the echoing moments that keep you absorbed--it's the reverberant dreamland settings and Leone's majestic, billowing sense of film movement.” (Pauline Kael) 4K Restoration 251 min.

In Search of Lost Chords: Joni Mitchell, the Last Waltz, and the Refuge of the Road
103 5 In Search of Lost Chords: Joni Mitchell, Th e Last Waltz , and the Refuge of the Road Gustavus Stadler Murray Lerner’s fi lm Message to Love: Th e Isle of Wight Festival 1970 documents Joni Mitchell’s confrontation with an unruly crowd at an increasingly chaotic three-day concert, where an audience of 200,000 watched performances by acts like Jimi Hendrix, Th e Who, and Th e Doors. Her few minutes on screen will never fi t as neatly with glib proclamations of the “end of the 60s” as the events at the free concert at Tracy, California’s Altamont Speedway, organized by the Rolling Stones and documented in the far more canonical fi lm Gimme Shelter . But Message to Love’s depiction of Mitchell’s confrontation with the festival audience carries some of the same force. In both fi lms, dreams seeded at the Woodstock Music & Art Fair of 1969 turn into nightmares. Like Gimme Shelter , Lerner’s fi lm charts the breakdown of business-as-usual at a huge, outdoor, multi-artist concert. But in Message to Love , Woodstock’s shadow looms more literally; just aft er Mitchell fi nishes playing her eponymous anthem of tribute to the already legendary aff air, her microphone is commandeered by an apparently acid-baked hippie named Yogi Joe, who rather incoherently attempts to speak up for a group of people protesting outside the festival, demanding that it be made free. 1 Mitchell’s manager fi nally pulls Joe off stage, prompting a chorus of boos and jeers from the audience.
