Special performance at the Grammy Museum as part of LA FILM FEST 2012's screening of Alan Lomax's film "Ballads, Blues, and Bluegrass". Shot during a late night afterparty in famed ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax's Greenwich Village apartment in 1961 but unseen until now, this film is a treasure trove of performances by some of the most influential blues, bluegrass, country and folk artists of the day, including Memphis Slim and Willie Dixon, Ramblin' Jack Elliott and Roscoe Holcomb (the inspiration for the term "high, lonesome sound"). More a "fly on the wall" piece than a concert film, this intimate get-together also features some incisive and entertaining interviews as Lomax quizzes the players about their music in the midst of a party that would have been a hoot(anany) to attend. Join us as we recreate that Greenwich Village vibe in the Grammy Museum. Hosted by KCRW's Chris Douridas Performing: Father John Misty (Fleet Foxes) Sara Watkins (Nickel Creek) Asdru Sierra (Ozomatli) Anthony Marinelli Curt Smith (Tears for Fears) Charlton Pettus
