Mixed Tape Trilogy: Stories of the Power of Music

eTown is proud to host the theatre premier of Mixtape Trilogy: The Power of Music, an entertaining and impactful documentary that explores one of the most intense and unique relationships between people who rarely meet: music artists and their fans.
Folk-rock icons Indigo Girls openly share their journey, which has powerfully influenced the life of their biggest fan. Composer and pianist Vijay Iyer examines issues of immigration and race through his music; his work touches the heart of Garnette, a “man of the streets” from Kingston, Jamaica. Rapper and activist Talib Kweli inspires and transforms the life of Mike, a “Hip Hop” architect from Detroit. The director unpacks the music and the audience is invited to fall into it. The art of listening unfolds and inspires us to listen to music, and, perhaps, each other, in new ways.
There will be a very special Q&A following the screening with the Director/Screenwriter Kathleen Ermitage and the Executive Producer Alan Cogen.
