Het is dit jaar 10 jaar geleden dat Johnny Cash (1932-2003) overleed. Het herdenkingsjaar wordt geopend met een heuse kerkdienst rond 'the man in black'. Deze dienst vindt plaats op zondag 3 februari 2013 om 17.00 uur in de Morgensterkerk aan de Muilwijckstraat 1 in Papendrecht. In deze dienst klinken geen Psalmen of gezangen, maar de muziek van de bekende singer-songwriter Johnny Cash. En meezingen mag!
The Winding Stream, an epic documentary film about the dynasty at the heart of American roots music is nearing completion but needs finishing funds to get there. The film tells the story of the musical Carter and Cash Family and features interviews and performances by many Americana artists, including Johnny Cash, Rosanne Cash, George Jones, Sheryl Crow, Kris Kristofferson, John Prine, the Carolina Chocolate Drops and others.
To get to the finish line, Grammy-nominated independent filmmaker and musician Beth Harrington is announcing the beginning of a 60-day effort starting May 1 to raise the needed funds through the online crowdfunding site, Kickstarter. The goal is $50,000. Donors to the campaign can choose from an array of rewards, including tickets to special screenings and after-parties, copies of the film’s companion book, special edition hand-made Carter Family posters, a chance to serve as an Editorial Consultant on the film, a private screening of the completed film in your own home, and a tour of the Carter Family’s hometown, as well as Carter buttons, stickers and other surprises!
