Arthur Rovozzo
This film project is the brainchild of “Musical Myriad” host Arthur Rovozzo, WECS Radio, 90.1FM.
Arthur’s extensive musical knowledge and passion for historical roots has led to the development of this unique 5-part series.
As Arthur describes:
“On February 14th at The Packing House we're planning to feature Janis Joplin. Joplin made her most decisive career altering appearances at major rock music festivals. However there are film clips of the vocalist from other times and places that we planned to view excerpts of.
The second half of the night's presentation will be a part documentary part music performance film concerning the scheme of several rock promoters to create a rolling Woodstock on wheels that could travel around North America with eight or nine bands stopping to give concerts at various venues.
Janis Joplin not only got involved, she essentially commandeered the whole plan and turned it into her own personal 24 hour a day party. There are appearances by many other artists in this survey of a train trip gone wildly mad, including Robbie Robertson and the band .”
We have compiled and will screen a selection of unique and relevant historic music related films from January thru May. This series is intended to share the journey and evolution of contemporary rock and blues from the sixties forward.
Join us for the screening of this musical journey. This project is a part of the EC-CHAP Friday Film Series hosted by the Eastern Connecticut Center for History, Art, and Performance (EC-CHAP), a 501.3.c non-profit membership-based cultural organization.
