Thread Name: John Fahey Celebration in Takoma Park, 28 June
Subject: Fahey Celebration in Takoma Park, 6/28
Well it's taken some time to come together, but the DC premiere of James Cullingham's excellent documentary IN SEARCH OF BLIND JOE DEATH will take place on
7pm on Friday, June 28, 2013 at the Takoma Park Community Center (7500 Maple Avenue, Takoma Park, 20912)

WE ARE TAKOMA and the HOUSE OF MUSICAL TRADITIONS PRESENTS:

A COMMUNITY CELEBRATION OF JOHN FAHEY

Takoma Park's most famous son, guitarist John Fahey, will be celebrated with a new documentary from Tamarack Films, with a music performance by one of Fahey's label mates Max Ochs, and with a Q & A consisting of film director James Cullingham, flautist and Fahey friend Nancy Mclean, session engineer and musicologist Joe Bussard, and Fahey's boyhood friend Rob Gardner. This promises to be a very special evening and will certainly fill the 150 seat auditorium at the Community Center (as did my amateur 30 minute documentary that was the debut event in the beautiful auditorium).

This screening of the film is open to the public with a suggested donation of $10. Advance passes available at House of Musical Traditions or Takoma Park Community Center (limit two passes per person). For holders of advance passes, the suggested donation of $10 will be collected at the door, on the day of show only.
