Wednesday, September 13, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Music documentaries series on tap With the sad news that the 22nd annual Sisters Folk Festival was forced to cancel last weekend’s events, due to on-going health concerns from the wildfire smoke, Sisters Movie House looks to offer music fans some con- solation, starting the week- end of September 16-17 with a selection of outstanding music documentaries. “We’re calling it the ‘More Than Folk’ Film Festival,” said Drew Kaza of Sisters Movie House. “We had scheduled this in well before the folk festi- val cancellation, thinking it was a perfect way to extend the music lovers’ enjoyment another week. Now we hope it offers a little consolation — and some great music sto- ries — after the loss of the folk fest this year.” Kicking off with “Sidemen: Long Road to Glory” – which opens on Saturday night, and con- tinuing for three more days, Sisters Movie House will feature a different newly released documentary film each day — all of them pre- miering for the first time in Oregon. In fact, “BANG! The Bert Berns Story” – show- ing on Sunday, September 17 — will ONLY be seen in Sisters during the remain- der of its theatrical run and not seen anywhere else in Oregon. It is the story of 1960s record label executive/ songwriter Bert Berns, who founded the BANG! Label and signed such notables as Neil Diamond and Van Morrison to their first record deals. He also wrote the hit song “Hang on Sloopy” among other classics, all before succumbing to a heart condition before the age of 40. Saturday’s “Sidemen” fea- tures the last surviving mem- bers of the Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters blues bands, while Monday’s “Two Trains Runnin” might be a tale most interesting to folk music fans. It tells the story of two country blues legends (Skip James and Son House), who disappeared from blues/roots music for almost 30 years, only to be re-discovered and brought to a surprise appear- ance at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival to the delight of the sell-out crowds. “Two Trains is an amazing story that we think will really resonate with Sisters Folk Festival fans,” said Kaza. “The Newport Folk Festival is the grand-daddy of them all, and this movie is narrated by Common with music from Gary Clark, Junior, so it is both classic and contempo- rary at the same time.” The More Than Folk Film Festival wraps up on Wednesday, September, 20, with an intriguing look at music industry legend Clive Davis, who signed acts such as Janis Joplin, Santana, Aerosmith and Whitney Houston amongst others over a glittering career. “Clive Davis: Soundtrack of Our Lives” is a look at an iconic figure, beloved by the artists he nurtured through years at Columbia and Arista Records and beyond. This is going to be a special two months for music fans at Sisters Movie House. — Drew Kaza In addition, Sisters Movie House announced that the definitive Pearl Jam concert documentary “Let’s Play Two” with footage from Chicago’s Wrigley Field, will also screen in early October. Dates for that event will be announced shortly. “This is going to be a spe- cial two months for music fans at Sisters Movie House,” said Kaza. “This is certainly no sub- stitution for the folk festival, but we hope it will tide some over until 2018.” Starts Friday Fri., Sept. 15 – Thurs., Sept. 21 HAPPY HOUR MON-FRI 4-7pm KARAOKE NIGHTS!
