Opening Night Documentary Film:
For The Sake of the Song
For The Sake of the Song: The Story of Anderson Fair (Feature Documentary)
Fri., Sept. 10, 7:30 p – Friday Night Opening Feature, Lory Theater (CSU)
Lyle Lovett, Lucinda Williams, Guy Clark, Vince Bell, and a who’s who of other Americana and Alt-Country Music greats tell the story of how a devoted community of artists, volunteers, and patrons transformed a politically subversive little neighborhood restaurant into a legendary American music institution. For 40 years, Houston’s folk and acoustic music venue, Anderson Fair Retail Restaurant, has fostered and nurtured some of America’s most important musical performers and songwriters. It has stubbornly bucked the odds and survived because of the dedication of a community of people with a common vision. Its struggle to survive in many ways mirrors the struggle of the individual artists. (99 mins.) We are pleased to welcome producer/cinematographer Jim Barham and singer/songwriter Vince Bell, who will be available for questions after the screening.
Vince Bell will also perform on Sunday, Sept. 12, 2:00 p.m. at the Bas Bleu Theatre.
