Greenwich Village Music Documentary

It is striking how many of the 1960s folk music pioneers in Laura Archibald’s entertaining documentary, “Greenwich Village: Music That Defined a Generation,” are still earnestly plugging away 50 years later. If rock stars often burn out, folkies tend to slowly fade away. MORE HERE








Greenwich Village was the birthplace of the singer/songwriter and songs of love and relationships. Between 1961-1973, many musicians in The Village banded together to sing about the radical social upheaval of the time. As these new singers emerged, Greenwich blossomed as a place that promoted a better future. Their music challenged the status quo by singing about taboo subjects – fighting for civil liberties, protesting the Vietnam War, and holding governments accountable for their actions.

The documentary opens on Friday January 18, 2013 in Manhattan. Location & showtimes HERE
