A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF MUSIC (during times of authoritarianism)

NCI Sports & Social Club · Cambridge

A visual and sonic presentation by Eric Isaacson (Mississippi Records) A slideshow / lecture / film presentation from Mississippi Records founder Eric Isaacson telling a story of global music scenes that struggled and endeavoured during periods of authoritarianism. This is a timely and compelling interweaving of people and places, of past and present, of making and sharing music in very troubling times. It's the story of how the powerful interests try to control music and how people fight back, nimbly evading systemic repressions by puritans, corporations and tech lords alike. Making wide, bold swings, this show, covers music from Ethiopia, North Korea,Kenya, the USA and beyond, while drawing on Eric’s colorfully described, personal experiences of the fascist creep.

Nathan Salsburg

NCI Sports & Social Club · Cambridge

Nathan Salsburg is one of his generation’s most gifted and idiosyncratic acoustic guitarists. Since 2011, when the first of his eight solo albums was released, he has quietly established a style marked by a depth and a complexity wholly his own, drawing on abiding interests in minimalism, rural American vernacular musics, and the work of British folk revivalists like Dick Gaughan, Dolly Collins, and Nic Jones. He’s a frequent collaborator of songwriter-singer Joan Shelley [his wife] and Chicago multi-instrumentalist James Elkington, and has contributed to recordings by Shirley Collins, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, the Weather Station, and Jake Xerxes Fussell, among others. For twenty years Salsburg served as curator of the digital Alan Lomax Archive.
