JESSE AND GLENDA DREW: OPEN COUNTRY
Open Country is a journey into the roots of American Country music, reclaiming it as the creative musical expression of working people of all colors. Through archival clips, graphic artistry, contemporary interviews and performances, it re-positions Country into its rightful place as a people’s music. Featured artists include Pete Seeger, Billy Bragg, Hazel Dickens, Utah Phillips, Mat Callahan, and Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. OC fave Cindy Sawprano opens with Country tunes on her musical saw, and both directors are here in person for an energized Q&A! Moonshine and Mountain Dew at the bar. Come early for 16mm musical gems from Tex Ritter, Jim Reeves, and The Ranch Party Gang!$11
