I AM THE BLUES Screening at Webster University July 7th-11th
By |
I AM THE BLUES screens Friday, July 7th through Tuesday July 11th at Webster University’s Moore Auditorium (470 East Lockwood). The movie starts each evening at 8:00pm.
I Am the Blues takes the audience on a musical journey through the swamps of the Louisiana Bayou, the juke joints of the Mississippi Delta and Moonshine soaked BBQs in the North Mississippi Hill Country. The film visits blues musicians rooted in the genre’s heyday, many in their 80s, still living in the American deep south and touring the Chitlin’ Circuit. Let Bobby Rush, Barbara Lynn, Henry Gray, Carol Fran, Little Freddie King, Lazy Lester, Bilbo Walker, Jimmy “Duck” Holmes, RL Boyce, LC Ulmer, Lil’ Buck Sinegal and their friends awaken the blues in all of us.
The critics love I AM THE BLUES:
T’Cha Dunlevy at The Montreal Gazette said:
“I was quietly blown away by Daniel Cross’s new documentary I Am the Blues, which follows the Montrealer on a quest through the southern U.S. to track down the last remaining ambassadors of the genre.”
Chris Knight of The National Post wrote:
“When the music takes flight, it’s a thing of beauty. Heartache never sounded so good.”
Admission is:
$6 for the general public
$5 for seniors, Webster alumni and students from other schools
