| Geoff Muldaur And Jim Kweskin Team Up For Select Fall Tour Dates Folk and American music luminaries Geoff Muldaur and Jim Kweskin are teaming up for a rare co-headlining tour this fall. The two jug band icons, who first joined forces in the vibrant New England folk scene of the 1960's, rekindled their musical relationship during the filming of the acclaimed 2009 documentary "Chasin' Gus' Ghost." Their tour hits New York City on Nov 10, when the pair will perform an intimate show at Joe's Pub. Produced by Ezzie Films, "Chasin' Gus' Ghost" traces the roots of American music beginning with Gus Cannon and Cannon's Jug Stompers, weaving a tapestry through interviews, live performances, archival footage, and photography to show their influence on the ever-popular folk and rock movements of the 1960's. The film features interviews and performance footage with Muldaur and Kweskin, along with contemporaries like John Sebastian, shot at events around the world including a 2006 concert in Tokyo, Japan, honoring the late Fritz Richmond. PDX Magazine called the film "infectious, " adding that the "vintage performance footage, interviews and live performances reveal that Gus Cannon's spirit and music resonate in surprising places." Documentaryfilms.net raved that it was "Delightful...the most enjoyable film anyone will see this year." "Chasin' Gus' Ghost" is now available on DVD: http://chasingusghost.com/ Also available on Rediscover Music is 'Jug Band Extravaganza, ' a live concert album featuring Jim Kweskin, Geoff Muldaur, John Sebastian, David Grisman, Maria Muldaur, and The Barbecue Orchestra recorded at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Jazz News :: home page |
