Joe and Odell Thompson, Saturday 8pm

In our second event supporting the upcoming Hook & Line Thompson Music & Arts Heritage Festival we will screen films exploring the life and music of Joe and Odell Thompson. We will start with a conversation with Joe's cousin Iris Thompson Chapman, and once the sun goes down, we'll present Iris's 2004 documentary The Life and Times of Joe Thompson. Following that, Wayne Martin will share from his collection of home videos of Joe and Odell, offering us a rare window into their distinctive style of fiddle-and-banjo playing.

After you attend the screenings, make sure to check out the Joe Thompson Square Dance at 9:00pm.
