Roots and Branches: American Music on Screen
This musical trip back in time features motion picture and newsreel
footage from the 1920s and 30s of country, blues and jazz performers.
Clips range from the iconic Jimmie Rodgers, Bob Wills and early jazz
masters Ted Weems and Frank Westphal, to anonymous jugs bands, fiddlers
and field hands. The footage captures musicians at work in a vanished
America – at barn dances, street corners, fiddler conventions and
in the fields. Tom Sauber, Mark Graham and Orville Johnson will share
their encyclopedic knowledge of Americana and old-time music as they
narrate these rarely seen film clips. The trio will also perform a set
of their own music, inspired and informed by blues, bluegrass and
American roots music.
Roots and Branches: American Music on Screen
Thursday, May 8, 8 p.m.
Northwest Film Forum (1515 12th Ave. )
Tickets $10/NWFF members, $12/general
