On the 4th anniversary of his untimely death, we salute the incredible, iconic actor, photographer, painter and filmmaker DENNIS HOPPER (EASY RIDER, APOCALYPSE NOW, SPEED, BLUE VELVET, HOOSIERS, etc…) with an INCREDIBLY RARE PUBLIC SCREENING of one of his least-known but most critically acclaimed motion pictures.
The exact title will not be revealed until showtime, but we can tell you it’s an incredibly intense and brutal drama from decades ago that vanished from theaters without a trace only a few weeks after its original release.
It has languished in almost complete obscurity ever since.
Now is your chance to see a forgotten Dennis Hopper classic the way it was meant to be seen – on the BIG screen.
PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO THE ADULT SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS MYSTERY FILM, IT IS RECOMMENDED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY.
We’ll be raffling off some cool Dennis Hopper-related items before the show, so bring a few extra bucks for raffle tickets…
Show up, take a chance, buy a beer or a glass of wine, or some Fair-Trade tea or coffee and sit back for a wild, wild ride…

”...the magic of their music is in the way opposites attract. His harmonies add a soulful bottom and her’s a softer edge.” -Adrienne Lawrence, Frederick News Post
“Pretty Gritty’s Soulful Americana have been turning heads in the music world for more than two years, but it would seem their future is brighter than their already bright past.” -Ken Frager, The Pulse
Pretty Gritty is the serendipitous joining of the talents of Blaine Heinonen and Sarah Wolff, both born and raised in Montgomery County, MD. Although they originate from different rock bands, fate brought them together at local “open-mic” nights, where it became evident that they shared an interest in writing and performing songs that mix country, rock, blues, and soul. It’s said that she brings the “pretty” while he brings the “gritty,” combining for an engaging alt-country duo with seducing harmonies and addicting acoustics.

“This renegade trio led by keyboardist and sonic explorer Michael Bellar blends pop, rock, funk, jazz and world music elements into a provocative brew on this spirited alt-jazz outing. Fans of Medeski Martin & Wood and Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey will dig this.” -Jazz Times
Michael Bellar & the AS-IS Ensemble – The AS-IS Ensemble is the musical home of musician/producer Michael Bellar.

They have performed at such venues as Avery Fischer Hall at Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, South By Southwest, the JVC, Bell Atlantic and New York City Winter Jazz Festivals and were formerly the house band at the world-famous Blue Note jazz club in New York City. In a review of their first ever performance in New York City,they were hailed as “GENERATION NEXT” by Billboard Magazine. The group has recorded three studio CDs – “Turned On Turned Up” (2009), “Like It Is,” and “REACT!”Featured on the latest release “Turned On Turned Up,” are bassist Rob Jost (Imogen Heap, Bjork), drummer Brad Wentworth (Ryan Keberle.

Steph Stewart is haunting, post-Appalachian lull married to sweet and smoky honky-tonk. Her ethereal twang feeds an audience, easing into the gut like honey, accented by hoppy mandolin picking and bright fiddle melodies. Her boyfriends include Omar Ruiz-Lopez (fiddle, faddle, mandolin), Mario Arnez (lead guitar, backing vocals), Nicholas Vandenberg (upright bass, backing vocals). Together, Steph and her boyfriends deliver a haunting sound both unique and strangely familiar, fusing old Appalachia and top-shelf Americana.
“Steph Stewart could follow Gillian Welch and Tift Merritt as the next great female voice in alt-country.” – Ryan Snyder, Yes! Weekly (May 09, 2012)
This performance is part of the Savannah Art March, a first Friday “Art Hop” between art related businesses between Forsyth Park and Victory Drive from 6pm – 9pm.

The monthly Open Mic Comedy Night gives you a chance to test out your comedic skills, or just bring your sense of humor and enjoy the show! Usually not family friendly!
The bluegrass-based Bread and Butter Band is a four-piece group, with passionate, engaging vocals and a strong focus on the crisp, clean chords of bluegrass harmonies. The upright bass, banjo, and guitar come together to compliment the consistent harmonies of Josh Goodwin, Grayson Deal, and Nicole Kendle, all accentuated by the incredibly dynamic and versatile fiddle playing of Aaron Farmer.
Bread and Butter began in Black Mountain, NC around the end of 2012, and they’ve been rehearsing and developing since. Their music consists of bluegrass instruments and roots, but stretches across genres and borders to reach people of all sorts. There are strong whiffs of blues and country in the vocals, with a distinctly Appalachian feeling fiddle, all meshing to create a definite down-home mountain sound.
Screamin Eagle – The Florida born, Memphis resident describes his brand of music as swampedelic-soul-country and has been compared to Ryan Adams, the Kings of Leon, and Bob Dylan. He closed 2012 by opening for the up-and-coming, Valerie June. (Ms. June has recently co-written and produced an album with Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys due out spring of 2013.)
