A screening of the brand new film about the New Lost City Ramblers


?Always Been a Rambler? by Yasha Aginsky and the Arhoolie Foundation


Friday, September 25 ? 8 pm

This film traces the journey of The New Lost City Ramblers and their pioneering

influence in the revival of old time music. All along the way the group, Mike Seeger,

John Cohen, and Tracy Schwarz, (who replaced founder Tom Paley) gathered and

documented music at its sources, then exposed the old music to new audiences and

musicians. A treasure trove of archival footage, photos, and music, the film includes

performances and interviews by Doc Watson, Ricky Skaggs, Maybelle and Sara

Carter and many other masters of old time music. Bonus footage includes eight

rarely seen songs.

After the movie, we?ll chat with Hubie King of Old Time Jam on BluegrassCountry.org and other folks who can share more stories of the band and its influence, and

celebrate the current release of the retrospective NLCR collection by Smithsonian Folkways.
