ROOTS AND BRANCHES - Tonight only at 8pm
This musical trip back in time features motion picture and newsreel footage from the 1920s and 30s of country, blues and jazz performers. Clips range from the iconic Jimmie Rodgers, Bob Wills and early jazz masters Ted Weems and Frank Westphal, to anonymous jugs bands, fiddlers and field hands.
Tom Sauber, Mark Graham and Orville Johnson will share their encyclopedic knowledge of Americana and old-time music as they narrate these rarely seen film clips. The trio will also perform a set of their own music, inspired and informed by blues, bluegrass and American roots music.

LOVE SONGS - Ends tonight! - 7, 9pm
A musical that transcends expectations of relationships, love, and sexuality, LOVE SONGS comes from one of French cinema's most interesting new talents, Christophe Honore. Riffing on Jacques Demy's UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG, Honore has created a charmingly scruffy musical about love and loss in contemporary France.
"[LOVE SONGS] is a joy, from the cute songs and sudden bursts of comedy to the profound and affecting sadness of one lover mourning the death of another while finding the strength to go on." -Seattle PI
"LOVE SONGS finds the magic that the great screen musicals have - the way a sad song can nonetheless leave an audience happy, or the way two voices blending seems to create something so much bigger." -Seattle Times
