Composer and multi-instrumentalist Taj Mahal, a two-time GRAMMY winner and one of the most influential American blues and roots artists of the past half-century, has made no Faustian deals in his long and distinguished career. In his never-ending exploration of the complex origins and underpinnings of American music, he has forged a four-decade career by gathering and distilling countless musical traditions from a range of geographical and cultural sources: the Mississippi Delta, the Appalachian backwoods, the African continent, the Hawaiian islands, Europe, the Caribbean and so much more.

A Friend of a Friend is the first record by Dave Rawlings, the guitarist, producer, singer, and songwriter best known for his work with Gillian Welch and Old Crow Medicine Show. These long time compatriots join Rawlings on this record beside newer friends Benmont Tench from the Heartbreakers, Karl Himmel, and Nate Walcott of Bright Eyes.
A Friend of a Friend has more lavish arrangements than songs from the Gillian Welch catalog typically do. Rawlings’s sly and succinct guitar playing is embedded within ensemble play as opposed to carrying the bulk of the arrangement. The music on A Friend of a Friend is cousin to the deftly modern and haunting music that Welch and Rawlings are known for, but it has here been expanded. Come experience the Dave Rawlings Machine, live!

Winner of 7 French Awards! The Cesar Awards-
"Which of us cannot remember a moment when we did or said precisely the wrong thing, irretrievably, irreparably? The instant the action was completed or the words were spoken we burned with shame and regret, but what we had done never could be repaired. Such moments are rare, and they occur most often in childhood, before we have been trained to think before we act. "Au Revoir les Enfants" ("Goodbye, Children") is a film about such a moment, about a quick, unthinking glance that may have cost four people their lives."
"The film was written and directed by Louis Malle, who based it on a childhood memory. Judging by the tears I saw streaming down his face on the night the film was shown at the Telluride Film Festival, the memory had caused him pain for many years. His story takes place in 1944, in a Catholic boarding school in Nazi-occupied France. At the start of a new semester, three new students are enrolled, and we realize immediately that they are Jews, disguised with new names and identities in an attempt to hide them from the Nazis." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The production will be feature cast members Miss Indigo Blue, Sydni Deveraux, Fuchsia Foxxx, Waxie Moon, Inga Ingenue, Jenny Penny, Ernie Von Schmaltz and host Armitage Shanks. Also joining the cast at select theaters will be Kellita, Alotta Boutte, LUX LA CROIX, Kira Von Sutra, and more.
