ED MILLER HOUSE CONCERT; Tuesday, February 22nd; 7:30pm The next in Pinewoods’ series of house concerts will be held on Manhattan’s Upper Westside featuring Ed Miller, a native of Edinburgh, Scotland, now living in Austin, Texas. Ed, a product of the 1960s folk revival in Scotland, moved to the United States in 1968 to complete his graduate work in Geography, and later Folklore, at the University of Texas at Austin. He recently released his sixth CD, Generations of Change, and actively performs in festivals, workshops and clubs throughout the world. In addition to his singing career, Ed is the host of a folk music program on Austin’s NPR station, KUT-FM. According to reviewer Steve Winick, “Ed Miller is one of the best singers to emerge from the Scottish folk revival, a guitar-wielding folkie who wins his audiences over with a sweet but powerful voice, a great ear for material, and equal doses of populist politics and wry humor. Miller is also a scholar with a deep curiosity about history and culture, and his multiple roles and approaches to music and song make his performances and record- ings that much more rewarding.” Please call 1-212-721-9382 for reservations and location details. GOSPEL & SACRED HARP SING; Sunday, February 27th; 3pm Join us for singing gospel, plus songs from the Sacred Harp book. This is 4-part harmony sung from written music, so you should be able to carry a tune; sight-singing helpful but not required. Bring food for a potluck supper (host is supplying drinks).

  • 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.

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.

  • You're Invited!
    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! (All Ages) Laura Numsen is a Maryland Institute, College of Art graduate who’s taught art, writing, and culture in schools, colleges, and eldercare settings. She also leads SoulCollage® and Vision Board retreats, helping people of all ages tap into their inner wisdom. 4:00pm - Lisa Viggiano “Magic in the Night: A Tribute to the Artistry of Bruce Springsteen” BroadwayWorld 2016 Winner for BEST CABARET FEMALE VOCALIST.

  • Freewheelin-On-Line Take Eleven
    freewheelin-on-line take eleven Freewheelin’ 209 January 2003 If you think that there is something vaguely familiar about the cover to this month’s Freewheelin, then you are not far out. The truth is that I am stuck in a Barnett Newman moment and I cannot get his ‘zips’ out of my system. A ‘zip’, if you recall the explanation given in my ‘Coverdown’ to Freewheelin 208, is a vertical line that separates one section from another. In life, a ‘zip; could be a borderline, where some howling beast of religion resides, that separates one country from another; or perhaps a prison wall that separates all of those wrong doers on the inside from all of us right doers on the outside. There is though a profound difference between this cover and that of Freewheelin’ 208. In this cover the line is broken and in fact it disappears up the sleeve of a magician. Thus, as if by magic, the two sections merge and become one. Just like that. Now you may think that Tommy Cooper (no relation to Chris) is, with his left hand, magically raising Dylan from a laundry basket.
