The Song Is Still Being Written | Plymouth, MA

  • Spire Center 25 1/2 Court Street Plymouth, MA, 02360 United States (map)

Through imagery, conversation and music, renowned photographer Barry Schneier and Boston Globe arts reporter James Sullivan bring local folk music history to life, as they document the artists who paved the way for the folk revolution in Boston and Cambridge, and those who are keeping it alive today and creating its future. Over the course of four years, Barry and James photographed and interviewed more than three dozen artists whose careers were born in this region. Through intimate portraits and their own words, we’ll meet great songwriters such as Lori McKenna and Tom Rush, national stars including Josh Ritter, Peter Rowan and Patti Griffin, local favorites like Mark Erelli, and music legends such as Jim Kweskin and Joan Baez. While many of these artists are well-known, we will also be introduced to newer artists, like Naomi Westwater and Kim Moberg, who are redefining what folk music is today. Spend the evening as Barry and James take you inside their journey and hear performances from Kim and Naomi onstage.
