We welcome music journalist and senior writer at Rolling Stone David Browne for a conversation about his new book: Talkin’ Greenwich Village: The Heady Rise and Slow Fall of America’s Bohemian Music Capital. To celebrate the book, we will screen the documentary Greenwich Village: Music That Defined a Generation.
Featuring poignant interviews with Pete Seeger, Kris Kristofferson, Don McLean, Peter Yarrow, Arlo Guthrie, Lucy and Carly Simon, Tom Chapin, and Judy Collins, among dozens of other music luminaries, Greenwich Village: Music That Defined a Generation combines talking heads with rare archival footage and new live performances to tell a story about a community that created a generation-defining music.
After the screening, JBFC Board President Janet Maslin will lead a conversation and Q&A with David Browne about his book and the revolutionary music scene of 1960s Greenwich village and its legacy.
Thanks to our friends at Village Bookstore, copies of Talkin’ Greenwich Village: The Heady Rise and Slow Fall of America’s Bohemian Music Capital are available to purchase in advance: you will be asked if you’d like to purchase the book as an optional add-on after your tickets are added to your cart. Purchased copies of the book will be available for pickup at the screening.
