The Americana Music Association and Lincoln Center Out of Doors 2014 have announced a free educational symposium that will take place on Sunday, August 10 during the weeklong Americanafest NYC at Lincoln Center (August 4-10) in New York City. These additions finalize the schedule of events that also features film premieres and 15 concerts – long established and newer voices – drawing from the deep wells of folk, bluegrass, country, gospel, blues, jazz, rock and R&B. 

 

The symposium will explore the elders and their legacies finding new expression among younger generations of musicians, and a related exhibition, We Are Music Makers, will run July 9 – August 29, 2014 at the New York Public Library. Long-time friends Buddy Miller and Jim Lauderdale, co-hosts of the popular “The Buddy & Jim Show” on SiriusXM’s Outlaw Country Channel, will tape a show segment in front of a live audience on August 10 at 1pm at the David Rubenstein Atrium for airing at a later date.  The two have been making music together since they met on New York’s country music scene more than thirty years ago. They are leading lights on the Americana and Nashville scenes, as singers/songwriters (and in Miller’s case, star producer). Jim is the longtime host and Buddy music director of the annual Americana Music Honors & Awards in Nashville, TN. Then at 2:15 pm Talkin’ Blues: Music Makers Relief Foundation’s Beverly “Guitar” Watkins, Ironing Board Sam and Dom Flemons with Music Maker Relief Foundation President Tim Duffy have a conversation hosted by Lincoln Center’s long time “Roots of American Music” consulting producer Coleman “Spike” Barkin. The concluding event at 3:30 pm is the screening of Heroes of Americana: From the Historic Films Archives, a collection of short performance clips from the collection of Joe Lauro featuring rare footage of such icons as Hank Williams, Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, introduced by Lauro. Heroes of Americana will also screen on Saturday, August 9 at 1pm and 4pm at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center.
