A new documentary exploring the roots of the Cambridge folk music scene and Club 47, the legendary Harvard Square coffeehouse, recently screened to rave reviews in front of a sold out crowd at the Boston International Film Festival. Now, For The Love Of Music: The Club 47 Folk Revival will come home for a special hometown screening here in Cleveland at the Beachland Ballroom this Sunday at 7:30pm as part of the 2012 Ohio Independent Film Festival.
The film was co-directed by Todd Kwait, a Cleveland-based lawyer who enthusiastically describes the Club 47 scene as being “unique” for its time. “Unlike the Greenwich Village folk scene that was developing at about the same time in New York, Club 47 wasn’t a bar run by a club owner but rather a non-profit coffee house. That made for more of free-flowing atmosphere with more collaboration between the club and the artists.”
For The Love Of Music features interviews with Joan Baez, Tom Rush, Judy Collins and Taj Mahal, all of whom got their start at Club 47. The film features additional interviews with Maria Muldaur, Geoff Muldaur, Jim Kweskin, Jackie Washington, Jim Rooney, Peter Rowan and many others.
Narrated by Peter Coyote, For The Love Of Music documents the day when young Joan Baez would become the first artist to play the club, talking her way into a performance slot. Club 47 would come to play a very important role in the developing American folk revival.
“At the heart of it all was an amateur scene,” singer-songwriter Tom Rush says in the film, “people playing for the love of the music.”
Some of the famous Club 47 alumni perform with today’s best known and emerging folk artists in performances that were captured especially for the film. Additionally, For The Love Of Music features audio of two previously unreleased Bob Dylan performances.
Tickets are on sale now for the screenings, but we’ll connect one lucky ATV reader with a pair of passes to see the film for free on Sunday night at the Beachland Ballroom. Email us now with “For The Love Of Music” in the subject line for your chance to win!
