This affectionate film reveals breathtaking musical virtuosity, passionate and joyous audience dedication, and the rich artistry and spirit that infuse one of America’s great musical genres. Have a drink, enjoy the film, maybe even grab some lunch from the John Hewitt’s lovely menu, and treat yourself. It is Saturday after all.

Following the film, Artist-in-residence Tim O’Brien will be joined by local Bluegrass musicians Ivan Muirhead on guitar, Michael Ashe on banjo and Wilson Davies on double bass for a top-notch Bluegrass session.
