Sorrows & Promises: Greenwich Village in the 1960s

Join singer-songwriter Richard Barone as he celebrates the music of the 1960s Greenwich Village folk music scene. Richard and his guests—journalists and musicians who were part of that vital community and its living legacy—will revisit that era with a series of multi-media discussions focusing on the singer-songwriters who helped shape the cultural and political landscape of New York, from Bob Dylan and Paul Simon to Janis Ian, Phil Ochs, and John Sebastian (of the Lovin’ Spoonful).

August 9th at 6:30 pm we present the documentary film, Festival!: Folk Music at Newport, 1963-1966 produced & directed by Murray Lerner.  The film depicts the crucial years of 1963 to 1966, a transition period within the art of folk music in the United States placed within the context of the Newport Folk Festival. Interview footage and concert footage of various artists is included throughout including Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, Peter, Paul and Mary, Son House, Mississippi John Hurt, Donovan, Judy Collins, Pete Seeger, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Odetta, Staple Singers, Mike Bloomfield, Ronnie Gilbert, Paul Butterfield, and many other musicians.

Richard Barone hosts with special guest Murray Lerner’s assistant Eliot Kissileff who has been working extensively with synching and cataloguing the Newport footage over the past two years.
