Rare Blues, Swing, Hawaiian and Old-Timey Music Films
Continuously repeating 8 to 11 pm • Screening Room
For many years, R. Crumb performed in the Cheap Suit Serenaders, a roving rag-tag band of musicians who played mostly covers of 20s blues, string and Hawaiian music. Tonight we present a selection of rare music films by many of the bands who inspired the Serenaders, from the archives of musicologist Dennis Nyback.
