Instrumental Visions Film Fest | A RiverRoots Event

March 13, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - March 18, 2018 @ 4:00 pm

Free, Donations Accepted

The Ohio River Valley Folk Society is presenting a four-part film series called Instrumental Visions: A Continuing History of the Music Festival.

The Folk Society is a Madison non-profit dedicated to cultural offerings and music education. It is a tax deductible means of supporting the annual RiverRoots Festival and produces the annual RiverRoots Music Series, featuring both regional and national touring Americana acts.

Hosted by Grammy award-winning artist and local resident, Robert Reynolds, the Instrumental Visions series seeks to bring together area music lovers, especially those with a sense of history. “I see a clear link between the music festivals presented in this series and the history made each year at Madison’s own RiverRoots,” explains Reynolds, “We hope the showing of these films can generate further excitement and appreciation for our great event.”
