FOCUS: ROCK’N’SOUL • “Guitar is a caller. It brings forth emotions you didn’t know you had.” So wrote the masterful steel-string player John Fahey. As a guitarist, composer, writer, painter and musicologist, he moved to the rhythm of his own strumming, influencing scores of acolytes (Pete Townshend of The Who considered him the folk guitar equivalent of William Burroughs). Featuring interviews with Townshend and Chris Funk of The Decemberists, and filled with Fahey’s music—some recorded under the titular name in homage to old blues troubadours—In Search of Blind Joe Death celebrates one of the true musical greats. <> *Following the Oct. 6 screening, Chris Funk of the Decemberists will play a John Fahey tribute set; see page 23 for details. $25 General / $20 Members <> Produced in association with Steep Productions Inc.
