AL HAWKES WILL BE PRESENT FOR A POST-SCREENING Q&A
Partial Proceeds Will Benefit the New England Folk Music Archives http://www.newenglandfolkmusic.org/
In 1956, Westbrook, Maine resident and television repair man Al Hawkes founded the Event Records label.
With his wife Barbara helping run the business and his friend Richard Greeley helping run the studio,
Al began producing records by local Maine artists and popular musicians on tour in Maine "from away."
Throughout the 1950s and 60s, he created some of the most highly regarded country, Bluegrass, and rockabilly
recordings – including songs by Dick Curless, Lenny Breau (as a teenage guitar virtuoso), Curtis Johnson,
Hal Lone Pine and Betty Cody, Charile Bailey, the Lilly Brothers and Don Stover. Many of these artists
were on the verge of national stardom, and many ultimately chose to not follow the path to Nashville
but instead remained up north, creating a distinct regional sound on a distinctly independent label.
The Eventful Life of Al Hawkes tells the story of Event Records, and Al's own story as an accomplished
musician and officially designated "First Generation Bluegrass Music Pioneer". As Al works to preserve
the thousands of recordings he has made and collected in the past sixty years, we learn how vital our
musical history is to understanding the culture of our region.
This highly original and theatrical Caribbean adaptation of the popular fairy tale “The Little Mermaid” garnered eight Tony nominations for its Broadway run, including Best Musical, Book and Score. In almost non-stop song and dance, the show tells the story of Ti Moune, a black peasant girl who rescues and falls in love with Daniel, a wealthy boy from the other side of her island. When Daniel is returned to his people, the fantastical gods who rule the island guide Ti Moune on a quest to test the strength of her love against the powerful forces of prejudice, hatred and death.
