--------------------Classic Westerns---------------------
Music at 7:00: Catie Curtis
Called “a folk-rock goddess” by the New Yorker, Catie Curtis is a vivid songwriter whose live shows engage the audience on a truly personal level. The grand-prize winner of the 2006 International Songwriting Competition, she has a style that is both rootsy and folky but with the rhythmic undercurrent of pop/rock music.
Movie at 9:00: Yellow Sky (1948) Simply one of the great cult movies of the golden age of Hollywood Westerns – Yellow Sky is one of those films that stays with you a long time. The story of a group of outlaws, led by Gregory Peck, who stumble, half-dead and on the lam, into a ghost town whose only inhabitants are a pistol-packing tomboy (Ann Baxter) and her grandfather, who are sitting on a treasure-trove of prospected gold. The conflicts that ensue are romantic, sexually charged, and morally driven. A must see!

In 1998 The Circus emerged from the misty hills of Sleepy Hollow, New York and exploded upon the Hudson Valley music scene with their stunning self-produced debut release, A Good Thief Tips His Hat. The quirky quartet then began touring throughout the northeast and rapidly developed a fiercely loyal, all-ages following. The band's charismatic live performances and whimsical blend of folk, rock, hillbilly and pop have captivated audiences and critics alike.
Movie at 9:00: High Noon One of the most beloved films of all time. Gary Cooper plays Marshall Will Kane who must singlehandedly defend his town from a revenge-seeking killer and his gang: a showdown scheduled to occur when the bad guys train arrives at noon. The movie is packed is with a spare and elegant tension as the clock ticks towards the shootout.

Music at 7:00: Wrecking Ball Burlington musicians Brett Hughes, Tyler Bolles, Marie Claire, and Gordon Stone front Wrecking Ball - honkytonk twang together with electric-hillbilly swang, where rockabilly fervor meets countrypolitan fever... Hank Williams and Johnny Cash meet up with Elvis and Waylon Jennings at Patsy Cline's house party.
Movie at 9:00: Shane Everyone remembers the kid forlornly calling “Shane…come back…Shane…” but seeing this groundbreaking 1953 film on a big screen again is a revelation. A mysterious reformed gunslinger arrives on a small ranch in the Tetons where he is pulled into a conflict between the local ranchers and farmers. Can Shane put his violent past behind him and settle into a life as a farm hand and decent man? Or is his dangerous past too hard to let go of? -------------------------Location-------------------------The location is BEHIND the UVM Recital Hall in the Redstone Pinegrove.
